Default More Dahlia's by request.

Hello again. Thank you for all your lovely comments on my last post. I was asked be a few members to post more of my flowers. So, here are a couple more from the Dhalia's.
Thanks for looking.

Purple Dhalia

This one is not quite perfect on the petal edges but It's pretty.
Orange Dhalia

Dave, these are very nicely done. I like the green backgrounds, they are a great foil to your flowers' colors. In the first I like the second bloom behind and below the first bloom which adds depth to your photo. The same thing can also be said about the branches and leaves with your second. It's been a great pleasure to watch your skills evolve over the last several months

Not at all Murtasma. It was just the Sony 18-70 kit lens. I wish I had more lenses but pocket money doesn't allow at the moment. lol..
