Duchaney_Tulip

I took this with my Canon Powershot SX110IS of the inside of a pink tulip during class time. I held it up to the sun so the light would shine through like stained glass, and I really like how the overlapping petals show through. I also like how the design is so geometric with radial symmetry, unlike how we usually percieve a tulip.  I'm really impressed with how, even though there is no human influence in the photo, it still manages to appear like a manmade design in opposed to what one might percieve as natural. It reminds me of a Georgia O'Keeffe painting. The texture of the petals even look like brush strokes. In this way, it does not come accross to me as a "nature" shot at all even though it is. However, I wish the focus was sharper.
