Comment from Envision
Dahlias really are very pretty flowers with their uniquely shaped petals which stand out nicely with this angle. The colors and the raindrops are well captured.

I love the glow of the beautiful colors on the dark background. The colors are realistic. The focus is spot on the center of the flower. The two little glistering rain drops are attractive and emphasize the center. The tight square framing is adequate. The composition is well balanced.

Perfection springs to mind Pat, the light on the flower is superb! None of the whites are blown out this preseves all the detail and forms of the flower as does that dark green background, I also like the square format!

A great capture on the Dahlia. The colors are brilliant and yet not overdone. I like the darkened background which sets off the flower nicely. Well Done.

I wish our Cloud Bursts only lasted a few minutes! ;)
Today I was hunkered down in our office due to tornado. Hail the size of a quarter. Good times!
Love how the colors pop in the rain it's why I go out in bad weather.
Fine full bloom with Gorgeous colors and nice water drops.
Nice work Pat ;)
