Another trip to the Dahlia farm yesterday and another wonderful day shooting these beauties. This is #4 in the current series, I hope you enjoy the early morning light and colors as much as I do.

Craig, I really like the Yellows at the center and the saturated pinks in the petals which provide some color feast here

. A touch more DOF for the frontal petals would have been great and I am on the fence wrt top right corner.

I'm amazed at how the touch of yellow really adds to this image, Craig.

Cheers,

Carol

Craig, nice POV and great colors. The light looks wonderful. My preference might be for a bit more DOF in front and a slight crop from the top, but nice as is also.

Love the color and the light Craig. I'd prefer a little more dof in the front but it's entirely subjective. Love the yellow in this and I'm fine with the bg at the top as is. Beautiful image.

Craig: I like this as is and could also go for a slightly tighter crop eliminating the URC. Love the colors. >=))>

Hi Craig

Marvelous color and lines

Agree about a tighter crop, and more DOF in the F.G,
