This dahlia is fresh from a rainstorm. The background was very busy and had a lot of hot spots. No matter what angle I shot from something intruded and ruined the image. Therefore, using a friend and a sheet of mat-board covered with black velvet, held at a slight angle to the camera.

Holy....wow! This is stunning! I don't think I've ever seen this type of flower before, it is gorgeous. And you've captured it so well. The colors are vivid without being garish or stark. Very well taken!

Oh my...I saw this in someone elses favorites and just had to drop a line. This is stunning! The vibrant colors and water drops are perfect. Really quite beautiful. Mother Nature is amazing and so is your capture. This goes into my faves.
