Another superb flower image from the master. As always your attention to detail and the lighting of the flower is absolutely gorgeous. It goes without saying that you background is amazing as always. Beautiful colours and composition. Very well done.

what a beautiful flower the light purple colour is so soft yet outstanding and the darker purple is a fantastic deep purple to bring out the middle of the flower the green in the middle tops the whole image of its a well captured image and the balanced colours are fantastic the zzom effect is awesome idea to use as well at the topaz lens effect WELL DONE.:)

I started growing Dahlias last year and now love them. Mine are getting ready to start blooming. I can't wait. Love all the color hues. The yellow from the center adds depth and energy. I like the way that you added the colors in the b/g .It seems to highlight the flower.
