This is like a grand firework from nature. Love the softness and the layering of the petals. The color is just amazing! Very nice!

These dahlias look so puffed and full. They must get great treatment. They are beautiful.

Hi, Sandi....

I'm not sure I've ever seen a dahlia before. It vaguely reminds me of the peonies on my best friends grandmother's bushes from 55 years ago in that it looks like it could burst. I guess I should have used the foofy terminology that Cindy used "puffed and full".

It's a beautiful flower but the shot doesn't have that usual Tigs sharpness and depth. The shot looks a little flat and dark to me. I guess I disagree with the previous comments. But don't worry too much about it. I don't have a clue what I'm doing when it comes to flower shots.

Personally, I like the darker tones Tigz. Adds a little mystery to this beautiful lady. Good post.

Flower show? Inside shot? That would most certainly explain the overall dark tone and the muted colors. Regardless, the detail is excellent as is the presentation. As for the colors they don't always have to slap you up the side of the head - the muted tones work here - I agree with TicK - good post -

Sandi, you are getting some beautiful close-ups of the Dahlia's. The soft lighting really brings out the soft delicate petals nicely. Love the two-tone colors too. Wonderful.

Sandi, what's great in this series to me, is the versatility. Not more of the same, but each dahlia is different and is captured with a different 'approach'. My compliments, very well done!

Regards, Cornelius.

These are such beautiful flowers. I'm glad you are posting this series as I am really enjoying the variety of these blooms. Me, I can't seem to get the weeds to grow in my yard, much less grass or flowers. Superbly done.

Emptiness is not nothingness. It is simply the opposite of full of it.
