Gorgeous composition, color and lighting -- as always!

Gorgeous Dahlias. They are perfect. Did you grow them?

The colors and light are gorgeous. Great detail and dof. Using a printed bg is a good idea, one I keep intending to try.

I might have removed some of the leaves to make a cleaner image, unless you were shooting this is someone's garden and were unable to do so. You might clone that bit of leaf sticking up on the bottom frame.

Thanks both
yes Anita- home grown

Beautiful colors, light, comp, sharpness, and background! You might consider cloning the tiny sliver of leaf sticking into the bottom of the frame - a very minor tweak to an excellent image!

I may start referring to you as "The Flower King." Exquisite on all counts, especially the simplicity and image quality. a

Thanks Arthur .Appreciated
Seasons greets to all.
