Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Gorgeous capture of this richly saturated blooms with a bonus bud at the lower right corner...
Looks like dahlia?

Impressive backdrop that looks like it's in black-and-white making this subject stand out nicely!

Sharply focused.
Nicely framed.
Subtly lit.

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks for sharing...

Beautiful and very nicely done photograph of these dahlias. The different shades of red, sometimes almost pink are very nice presentation. Great entry contest for this mixed media picture.

Gorgeous red dahlias! Very well photographed with good focus, this image is sharp and clear, exposure is correct, the colors and tones are so beautiful and they appear true and natural. Well composed from a nice POV, I see good detail in both flowers and love the Bud too ! Well presented!
