Late Summer 5

Hi all.

Another shot of the Cafe Au Lait dahlia that I have growing in my yard. I have at least 5 of them - at least three are blooming right now.

Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Nathan, I believe I like this one better than the last one. Almost high key, but the delicate undertones of various colors both warm and cool are a delight to my tired old eyes. Masterful! devil devil

Hi Nathan, love this shot. Beautiful soft tones and lots of structure retained in the whites. Composition looks pretty spot on to me too - nice! Would be tempted to be just a tad left and up from actual postion but that realy is 'nit-picking' enlightened

Cheers, Mark

Really like this Nathan. Lovely pastel colours with increasing softness away from the centre. Works very well. Graham

A beauty that is not revealed by the thumbnail but fully shown in the large image. So delicate, elegant: I love the photo Nathan. The WP is very well deserved..
