This is from my visit to the dahlia trial gardens at Bonneyville Mills Park, in Bristol, Indiana.

I tried a bit more sharpening on the center part of the flower, but decided against that.

Thanks for commenting, I do appreciate it.

In very bright sun like that it's hard not to lose a little detail and I've found sharpening is not the answer. You also might reduce the brightness level which should give you more color in the petals. This is a very beautiful dahlia anyway you present it.

Nice composition and a lovely pink Sandi. My experience is that you can get the best focus and colour when there is no sun shining at all but the light must of course be bright enough.

Such a charming flower and the composition is very sweet, dear agent SAS.
How are we doing about them missing links to the friends images ?! LOL We seem to manage one way of another !

A beauty of a mostly pink flower Sandi. It is a delicate thing messing with the adjustments to your image. A little too much here sometimes cause a problem over there and then you are back where you started from. It is a nice flower just the same and it looks like it's holding a leaf fan in front of its petal trying to be coy.

Beautiful shot. The bud hanging from the bottom of the picture is a nice addition.

Love the gorgeous, pastel colours found in this beautiful flower. The composition with the leaf covering the bottom petal is very good.
