There have been so many beautiful dahlia images, I wanted to post one too! This is from last year at Hudson Gardens dahlia display.
Thanks for looking!

Anne, this is beautiful. I love how the tips of the blossoms pop out of a sea of purple.

Like the title too ;^)

Cheers,

Carol

Anne, Lovely monochrome (almost). Love the limited design and leading lines in the frame. I may like it as much rotated 90 Deg CW. :cool:

Beautiful as posted Anne and I have no suggestions. Although I do like Ram's suggestion of a 90 degree rotation as an alternative.

Very nice abstract quality to this; perfect choice of aperture and point of focus. :toast:

Yes Anne, this is one more beautiful photo of dahlia that we admire here. It's very creative. I love it.
Take care.

Good going, Anne. This is dreamy for sure and artistically abstract. I like Ram's idea for a CW 90º rotation. I think then there would be a stronger repeating pattern to the petals, which would add even more appeal.

Thanks for the valuable feedback! I hadn't thought of rotating the image (which is why I'm so glad I posted it!). What do you think?
