I took this photo during the Tulip Festival in the Northeast Polder. This tulip was at the edge of a tulip field with red tulips which made it easy for me to reach it. To take this photo, I used a reporter flash even though the sun was shining, to flash through an in, the tulip stands out from the background. The flash was a Nikon SB700 reportage flash that was on a small tripod next to the tulip. As you can see, I had a clear blue sky when I took this photo, so it was beautiful spring weather.

The tulip is a well-known Dutch product internationally, though, and the tulip fields attract plenty of tourists every year. Actually, you can only see three colours in this picture, namely the red of the flower, the blue of the blue sky and the green of the stems on which the flowers are sitting.
