Yellow Dahlia

Gallery: FloraPosted March 20, 201240 views6 comments

Another flower image from my last summer trip to Europe. Dahlia is very common flower in European gardens from North to South and from East to West. I used my 90mm macro lens. Without having a tripod I was forced to hold camera free in my hands, that why I decided for fast, 1/400sec, speed and rather open aperture, F/3.5, to blur the BG.

Love the color and the detail in the flower. Very nice. Image would be better if the bottom wasn't cut off. Might work better in a square format. Thanks for posting this.

Very nice specimen Miro. The light is strong, but seems to work well.

Lovely, natural feel to this, Miro. I think you've done a great job on the colour given the strong light.

Nice flower and bg. The strong light gives a cheerful sunny day feel to this image.
