Dahlia

[Cheryl Slechta]

Another image from the Bulb Garden at Kanapaha Gardens. Another dahlia - there was a patch of these and all of them were facing at an odd angle. I used Viveza and then Fractalius on this one, masking back in quite a bit of the flower.
Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated.:S3:

Hi Cheryl, The colors are rich along with a nice use of the filter. If this were mine I would fill in the black area on the upper right.

Dave, thanks for the suggestion. I see what you're talking about - would you fill it with a lighter color?

Very nice image and application, Cheryl.

Like the colors and the Fract. :5

Deep strong colors are great, but the radiating flow of the petals make this shot for me..............great use of filters on this image. Love the color pallet against the black BG. Striking!

Hi cheryl ...I like this as presented...the colors and the diagonal flow of petals are striking. Very nice work on this with the fractilius
