Stunning image,you should have entered this in the b&w flower contest! A very dramatic and beautiful capture that is well focused and very well composed!

This is such a wonderful photograph of a dahlia. It looks very dramatic that it's in black-and-white. These are one of my favorite flowers to draw. The petals are so beautiful and the colors of these flowers can be so beautiful as well. Wonderful photography my friend thank you so much for sharing.

'Oh WOW',Jodi!
This is Outstanding! : D
While I honestly don't know a damned thing about Floral Photography I know without a doubt that 'Dark Dahlia 1' is WONDERFUL!
Maybe it's because of my fascination with 'Dark' imagery but I REALLY like it! : D

Beauty!!! Great photo!! This would have been a great entry for the black and white floral contest. The subtle colour transition between light and dark looks great in black and white. Nicely balanced composition. Thanks for sharing

Your close-up is impressive. This blossom is gorgeous. The monochromatic emphasizes the beauty of the bloom. The POV is perfect. The angle shows perfectly how blossom is opening. Your photo has good depth and is excellent focused, composed and treated with mixed media. The mixed media is expertly composed and framed. The tight framing is adequate. The composition is balanced.

Wow I wish I had a 6 left my dear friend as this one is a nice creation, and it would have been a great one for this kind of contest - your creative presentation is fantastic with this beautiful position, your perfect frame choice and your color shift into black and white making it special, your contrast and lighting is well applicated, your sharpness is more than perfect, so this flower is special just by her form - a well created presentation, Kudos xoxo

This photo really looks great in black and white, and what I like the best is the fine distinctions between dark and light in the flower. The Light is also falling on the Dahlia in such a lovely way, and it is standing out well from the background.

The photo is sharp and it is clear and well defined details to be seen in the petals of the flower, and the exposure is perfect.

I also like the tight cropping and the format, and the flower has got such a fine placement within the frame. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo Jodi, and with an excellent DOF.
