I took a trip over into Washington earlier this week to photograph the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. I was a bit late in the season, but there were still a few fields of tulips remaining, and plenty of people wandering about them.

I used a three-stop graduated filter for this shot, just a few minutes before the sun dropped behind the distant hills. A small aperture emphasised the starburst effect of this lens, and a low ISO captured the tulips moving slightly in the evening breeze.
