Definitely a breathtaking bloom, here, Nancy! The skills you have for editing images have made this outshine the rest!
Awesome job at focus, centering and all around balance. Love the color of her. She's extraordinary. The little bud seems to be announcing its soon arrival!
Lovely as always, girl!

    Hi Jewell, I may not be an artist but I can take photos and give them artistic touches! I like Mixed media because of that. Thank you so much for your lovely compliments and review my friend! I'm honored by your six stars! :o) Nancy

The title for this piece is perfect. It most definitely is a breath-taking view of this beautiful flower. Your expert technical skills really show in this composition. The focal point is well placed within the frame. The image is very sharply focused. The bold, bright, magnificent color is absolutely stunning without being oversaturated. And the bokeh background gives it depth of field while making it eye-popping as well.This is the definition of perfection! Really well done, Nancy.

Hi Nancy, a wonderful red Dahlia with a white center and there is a bud about it. the bokeh is pleasant and creates dimension. You have done a fine job with this variegated pleasantry. Ray

What a lovely Dahlia. They are one of my favorite flowers. You have great framing with just enough background clarity to know this flower is not alone yet giving no competition to the star subject. Nice one Nancy, thanks for my bright spot today:)

Well I didn't understand half of your methodology, but it worked beautifully! Lol
Very, very lovely photo indeed, with perfect focus and dof, stunning colours and perfect composition - I think the bud on the right finishes it off perfectly.

    I always have loved your work Nancy, I think the effects you achieve are awesome - I just get a bit lazy on reviewing when I have member dollars in my piggy bank! lol
    And the stars were completely deserved!
    Ha ha in other words, you’re welcome.

A beautiful image shown right here; and with good manipulation of mixed media, enhancing the image greatly. Lovely colors and detail with a muted background so as not to distract from your main subject.
