A super set of images, I particularly like the 3 single stem shots. Lovely dreamy / romantic feel to all of them.

Lovely shots, nice and dreamy.
How did you achieve the effect?

Thanks loadoftripe, glad you liked the set
The effect is created in post processing. I use Photoshop CS6. First the image is blurred with Gaussian blur, then using History brush the Tulips are retrieved with varying degrees of opacity. Finally a little bit of glow and sharpening is added with NIK plugins. There may be better ways to create this effect but i follow this.

Thanks for the info Rajhans, interesting, I know Gausian blur is an option in Gimp that I shall have to investigate. The only pp I have experience with is RT, ART, and Gimp really. As being a digital newbie !

As loadoftripe says, 'Lovely shots, nice and dreamy.' Completely agree. So attractive and beautifully done. Excellent.
Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

Not my usual "bag" but they do have a nice, dreamy quality about them!

Keep 'em coming
