My name is George Shearer. I shot this image of a bed of tulips at the Hershey, Pa. Rose Garden one afternoon in the Spring. Instead of focusing on all of the tulips, 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.

I used settings of: F/5.6 at 1/320 sec. at an ISO of 100. An Exposure Bias of -0.7 Step with a Focal Length of 200 mm. and Aperture Priority.
