This flaming red and white dahlia caught my eye and I took quite a few shots of the clump of them. If I had gone in the morning, the images would have been sharper; as it was, the afternoon breezes had come up so they are a bit soft.

Relly well done, makes me see exactly what you saw, and not just part of it. Lovely

I especially like the shot in the lower right corner. Very striking. The larger image on the left needs a shallower DOF, in my opinion. On that one I find myself more interested in figuring out the foliage in the background than in looking at the blossom.

The lighting is wonderful. The thing I love about this type of flower challenge, is we see so many varieties of plants. I am pretty certain I have never seen a Dahlia quite like this over here! I like the triptych.

Triptych worked out really well. I find all the images to be just sharp enough. The light really makes the white bits glow.

ahhh....love them. Different from what I get. Beautiful triptych rendition....love the patterning of the one from the back. Very abstract looking.

Great idea and twist on the triptych. Love this flower that I've never seen before. I like the backside view especially.

Delilahs? Shows you how much I know. ;\

This is just beautiful. Dahlias to me look like they could come to life. They just have a certain magic about them.

I love dahlias, they are so vibrant and alive. You have done a great job of showing their individual personalities.

Breezes are going to be the death of me as I weave back and forth with the flowers, especially when I have the extension tubes on and have little leeway in my focal areas! I end up bumping the ISO and shutter speed to increase my chances of snagging something as it passes ;-)

The patterns on this are nice, especially the shot of the back of the flower.
