Hi all.

More dahlias. It seems that I have lots of access to Dahlias this year.
This one is from my yard.

Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Really enjoying your dahlia series, so many different forms and different take of these flower. Nice to see the increasing size of the petals as they mature. Interesting to see that softness of the image eventhough this is at F22.

Nathan - I think the center of the Dahlia looking out to the left makes this composition work well for me. I have found shooting this kind of Dahlia very challenging, with their edges coming across as some kind of white but here its much better controlled. Perhaps it was not all that sunny.

Another beautiful dahlia image, Nathan. I find yellow dahlias most challenging. You did really well with this one. :toast:
