"Eyecatcher Pop of Colour in Square: An open fuchsia-coloured tulip in orange" is a photo of a tulip with a magenta/fuchsia colour, which I picked in a Tulip picking garden in North Holland.
The petals of this gorgeous tulip are completely unfolded, making the characteristic recognisable shape of the tulip less visible. But the heart is still recognisable. Because the petals are so unfolded, I was immediately reminded of a flower that children often draw: A simple flower with a heart with some leaves around it, stem underneath and a leaf on the stem.
I tried this tulip against different backgrounds. Here you can see the tulip with the orange background. The orange makes the fuchsia-coloured tulip pop right out, but the background also has a good colour presence. If you zoom in on the photo, you can clearly see the details of the picture.
Colourful and cheerful would be the words I would use to describe this work myself.
This photo could, for example, hang beautifully as wall decoration in the dining room or kitchen or just above the sofa! Of course, it is also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a waiting room or practice room!
