This is a really good back side shot. I see the light on the individual petals and it really lights up the whole flower. Nice job.

Very good close up of this lovely dahlia, bobbing its head in the breeze. I like the light you caught here.

Very good focus showing excellent detail. Very nice composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Dazzling, spiky, and vibrant .
what a refreshing sight. Love the aesthetic presentation and angle, something different. It is also beautiful to see the sepals. Good inclusion of the bud, making us anticipate, of more blooms to come. I like the natural but well saturated colors. Well captured.

Nice photo of the dahlia reaching toward the sun. A different view of this flower . I also like how the light shines on the tips of the flowers. Nice red color and great DOF. Thanks for sharing.
