The Metropolitan Detroit community has been participating in White Chapel's Tulip Festival Photo Contest since 2011. Amateur and professional photographers have entered hundreds of beautiful images, many including people, families and even pets. Hundreds of thousands have viewed the image galleries.
Excellent composition and perfect control of depth-of-field, plus the "pop" of more intense tulip colors, makes this our 1st place winner!
With clouds gathering in the distance, this composition uses the arches near the entrance to White Chapel as a sentinel of strength as if guarding the delicate little tulips below. Delightful.
A classic image of white tulips rounds out this year's photo winners. The blooms are all so fresh and ever reaching upward, they reminded us of demanding baby birds waiting for Mom to come feed them. This image shows excellent use of depth of focus and perfect exposure.
How can anyone resist this set of smiles? We love how the photographer used the forced perspective to control our attention. From the parents in the foreground, to the kids ending the row of red tulips with the little girl wearing a top of the same color. Brilliant.
