Tried so many filters, layers, softfocussing etc., that I've completely forgotten what I did. Guess the dahlia is a trickly flower for this white on white technique:) Kora

Kora, I love Dahlia's and think they make such great subjects. I like the soft focus look here and the
de -saturated look. The lines on the petals are interesting. My eye keeps thinking the crop seems a bit narrow on the sides.
Kora I like it, might put a thin black border around it to show it off even more.
Nice effect..good suggestions above....well done, this is a keeper
Kora, I like how the focus tapers away in the ULC! I agree with the thought to open the image up a bit. Nice!

Thanks for looking everyone, and for all the very helpful hints on improving. I'll have another go:) Kora
Reworked the image by fading our right and left sides and adding small border. Hope this looks better: Kora.
I like both posts very much. What an interesting angle you chose to create here - it really sets off the petals and makes the most of the dahlia. Lovely image!
Thanks so much for your very kind comments, Jules. You've made my day:) Just took a look at your Website. Awesome! I need to study yours and others to help improve my composition. I do tend to crop too hard. A throw-over from my camera club days when the judges hated what they called...too much air! It was always...crop until you drop! LOL...Kora
Kora, very nice treatment. I think I like the original post better but I'm not sure why.:o

Much appreciated, Cheryl:) I'm not sure which one I like:confused:
i like the many curves and shapes here. also the tones. the second image works best for me and i like it a lot--the fading away all around. :) i don't think it is overcropped.
Thanks so much for your comments, Anita. The straong curves and shapes are what originally appealed to me in this photo:) Kora
