Everything seems well in focus in the image of this striking dahlia. The intensity of the flower is within the realm of reason. A small nit, easily correctable, is the gray bar down each side of the stem. This is easily seen in the larger image.cool

The reds really pop, Albert, and the white bg looks very natural for the flower's color and backlighting. Well done. devil

Albert: Reminds me of some of Larry Lynch's work with roses. Really nice lighting and the BG does the trick. Nicely done.>=))>

Hi Albert!  I love Dahlia season!  This certainly is vibrant.  The background definitely added.

This is a lovely portraight.  Good detail throughout, and excellent lighting.  The yellow at the base of the outer petals really adds to the beauty.  Nice job!

Hi Albert,

 

I like the high key presentation along with the vibrant colors.  The stem can be fixed, but is a minor nit as the rest of the photo is awesome.........................Jim

Beautiful color and it really pops from the white background. Great detail.

The white bg works very well to show the beauty of the colors in this Dahlia and the detail in the flower is excellent.
