Tulip Up - a photo on Flickriver

Tulip Up

Wow! Highest Position Explore #14 April 26, 2014 Thank You! www.davidrironsjrphotography.com Hi Everyone. So sorry it has been sooo long since my last post. Life really did get in the way this time. I pride myself on being extremely healthy, working out and eating right. Still with all of that, life can still throw you a curve ball. We I was thrown a big curve ball in the form of a heart attack! Fortunately because I am healthy I have been able to recover fairly fast. Physically I am good, meaning no blockages in the arteries, normal blood pressure and normal cholesterol. Electrically my heart was screwed up which led it to being very week, hence the heart attack. So I have just had a surgery to implant an Internal Cardiac Defibrillator, which will keep the heart beating correctly and slow it down when it speeds up too fast. I have not been on in a while and I am hating how I cannot separate the paragraphs here!!! Since I could not drive for two weeks, my nephew came up from Salt Lake City and was my chauffeur. We visited the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival in Mt Vernon Washington. I do not apologize for the slight abstract nature of this image. The light was bright and really lit the tulips up. This is a combination of three handheld images (-2,0,+2) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. Did a slight crop in Photoshop as well as a little bit of "Dodge and Burn." I toned back the luminance of the red and yellows in Lightroom and added a bit of sharpness. Please do not use my images without my permission. I own all images and they are availible for license or purchase. Thank you.
