 This is one of the flowers planted on our patio. It is a dahlia. I found it rather fascinating with its imperfections.

Has a very nice, soft feel to it and the focus is great! It's nice how the petals slowly fade into the dark background.

Classic. The softness and rich colors make it look painted.

This is really pretty, I like the softness of it, almost looks like it's a painting.

You did a fantastic job of processing this. It's so soft and detailed, yet has that bit of sharpness where it should be. If I hadn't read your comments, I would have never guessed this was done on the patio.

Really pretty. I like the square crop and the centering. I've gotten into that lately instead of the rule of thirds which I used to prefer. I like the soft glow feel of it. It suits the flower perfectly. :~)

Absolutely beautiful, because of the imperfections rather than in spite of them. The processing is wonderful, so gentle and dreamlike.

Very nice colours, I like the fact it's isolated on a black background

Looks kinda like it's holding on or hiding something. Beautiful capture.
