A nice flower capture - well framed and for sure well composed
excellent use of space , I love your angle and the fact you went down on the flowers height to gain the perfect perspective
perfect focus, soft and genuine lighting - the green grey pays in favor giving you an excellent initial impression, well done

Very nice image here Barbara. I really like the details in the center of the flower. The colors accent the yellow petals. The petals have a wonderful sunshine color.

The flower is located well in the frame. The dark leaves in the background are perfect for placing emphasis on the main subject.

Nicely done Barbara ~ Steve

The blossom is perfect focused. The petals and center show refined detail. In like the soft, desaturated background. It emphasizes the blossom perfectly. The flower is well placed into the frame. The composition is balanced.

Hi Barbara! This is a beautiful yellow Dahlia and you have photographed it so very well . I see good detail on each of its eight petals and in the dark center with the deep gold , this is well focused, the image is clear, exposure is managed perfectly , the color and tones appear natural. Well composed and presented!

Beautiful sunny yellow color indeed, Barbara. My guess is you made the leaves black? If not I am guessing there is a fungus or something wrong turning them black.
You have sharp focus, Gorgeous colors, crisp details and fine white balance control.
Nice work Barbara ;)

    Thank you so much for the great review Sange! This is a Dahlia called Mystic Illusion. The leaves are actually such a dark purple that they look almost black. I didn't darken them in the photo.

    Wow! I have never seen one like this.
    Very cool! I think you should add that to your notes...as it's interesting to know. ;)

Beautiful floral portrait. The perspective and positioning in the frame make the flower jump out to the viewer. The colors are vivid. The lighting and white balance are very well done. Contrast against the muted background also enhances the detail of the composition. Overall very well done.
