Well shucky darn, where's all the comments on this beauty? Nothin wrong with this. Oh, I may have cropped in a tad more tighter but what a grrrrrreat bloom. This is a keeper. excellent.

I asked my Hubbie who grows our flowers ( I do the veg) and he seems to agree with you that it is indeed a dahlia. Wonderful colours and detail. A very very nice shot.
