Default Colourful Dhalia

Hi all. I do a lot of flower shots but don't often post them. I like how this one turned out so I thought I would share it. I hope you like it. I found it in a country garden that I passed on a drive on Sunday.

Dahlia

Dave.

I just love dalhia's - if only my wife did when we had a garden.

That is one superb foto Dave. Rich in colour, sharp and presented perfectly. Well done. Cheers, Bernz

The colours are stunning, the focus and DoF perfect, the flower appeals on so many levels it's a joy to look at. Many dahlia pictures have posted recently, few better this high quilty example, excellent work Dave

Fabulous shot of a stunning flower. You have captured it so well with perfect DoF to show of the main star attraction. Absolutely gorgeous colours.

Thanks Vin, I saw this one outside a house on a country road and it reminded me of the one that you got in your recent post, so I'm glad you saw this one. It was inspired by you buddy. Thank You. I appreciate your comment as always.

Dave.
