I love your word 'petalicious' and I love this artwork. The colours are exquisite and remind me of raspberry ripple ice cream, a real taste of summer. I think that your editing has all worked perfectly to enhance this delicious looking bloom!

Dahlia flowers are so beautiful and this one is no exception.
You have created a background which complements the subject well.
Your focus was sharp o the flower petals which are now outlines to emphasize the detail.

Helvi, this is such a beautiful rendition of the Dahlia; I'm getting more accepting of the non-purist photographs. This is just beautiful, clear, and the background shows the flower colors off well. Good luck in the contest.

    Hi Michele, If I did anything to change your mind about non-purist photographs I'm thrilled! The artist in me wants to create and that's why I love Mixed Media so much. I always hope I can take an image and take it to new heights. Sometimes it's a lot and other times just a touch! Thank you so much for the extraordinary review! I am truly honored! Thanks for the contest wishes too! :o) Nancy

Hi Helvi2, this is a beautiful image of a Petalicious Dahlia in fuĺl and glorious bloom. Your technique for achieving this has worked extremely well. I think the outlines of each petal improves the image. Good job and thanks for sharing, cheers.

Pretty lovely ! I love the prominent layers of petals. The colors are realistic in spite of the digital changes. The background is artistic with various shades of green and combination of light and dark shades. Well captured and the changes are well done.
