Mother’s Day Tulip, by Zahraa Al Hassani

I received a tulip bouquet on mother’s day. I didn’t want to keep it only for me, but to take the photo and send it online to all moms out there in the day of mothers! What made it a good shot, because it was one of those cloudy day when all photographers prefer clouds as it gives a diffuse light.
