This looks almost 3D- like you could touch the ends of the flower which are pointing towards the viewer. The Dahlia is a vivid standout against the foliage behind it, but the other flowers back there add some additional color. Neat shot!

WOW! Colors are great and details are amazing. I love the coloration of both the flower, and the flowers in the background. Great composition. I also enjoy how the flower almost takes up the entire frame.

Your presentation has given an almost 3d look. I like the mutedcolors, and the way the flower seems to be hanging it's head. Donkeyoatey

Comment from Anne
What a gorgeous flower. I like the way you took this so close up and the way you see all the petals. I like the way you see the leaves behind the flower. The lighting and focus are good on this. An excellent picture.

It sure is nice and bright and you did very nice work on the focus of it. I would try and blur the BG to make it a little more stunning.

Comment from PhotoVision
This is a beautiful flower with wonderful colour. The background lets down this image though, and the lighting, which doesn't enhance the bottom part of the frame. I would like to have seen the flower from a different angle with a less distracting background.
