Scott - The thing that really strikes about this Dahlia is the Color and the gradations. Nature sure knows how exactly to blend the right shades in the right proportions. Love the composition with that angle making the petals radiate from the LLC. Large version is a must see :wavey:

I love this, Scott. Well composed. You have beautiful colors, great details where they count the most,
and the central subject is nicely off center. There are also some good lines and texture. This has it
all.

Really like the soft light and the colors pop Scott.
It's an excellent closeup comp showing the viewer the best of both worlds..i.e. flowers center and petal transition/base structure outward.
Very nice! :toast:
