You've captured the nature of Dahlias with this image, Helena. Splendid!
Oh that's what you said. Well, it is!

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel. -Josemaria Escriva

I'll switch from splendid to stunning. A very beautiful capture. Very enjoyable and thanks for sharing.

If the clarity on this beauty were any better, I'd be able to pick it and set it in a vase on my desk. This is one of the best I've seen as to quality, color, placement and background. The black is just perfect. I can think of no other color that would equal it in intensity and strength and yet not overpower the delicacy of this post. The shadows are highly visible on the right side of the flower, and so create even more interest. The center of the flower with its intriguing shade of green is almost mysterious as it is shaded and protected by the most intense guards of red. It's almost as if you're invited to look at what you can spy, but are not allowed beyond those gates...amazing ..sent me off in a tizzy of imagination of which I'm going to have to gradually come down.....lol...in my faves, of course :)PJ

I don't think it gets any better than this. This is a knock down drag out capture that should win first prize in any flower contest. Well done.

If you love something, set it free. It it comes back to you, it is yours. If it does not, it was never meant to be. Wil
