My name is George Shearer. I came upon these beautiful tulips at the Hershey Pa. Rose Garden one Spring. Instead of getting all the tulips in sharp focus I zeroed in on just one of them for a different aspect.

I used a Nikon D-80 camera with a Sigma DC 18-125, 3.5-5.6 D lens set at F/5.6 and 1/320 sec. with an ISO of 100 and an Exposure Bias of -0.7 Step At Focal Length Of 200 mm. on Aperture Priority.
