A beautiful dahlia, Patricia. I like that you were able to include a partially open bud, and the other flowers all around. It doesn’t look lonely. The colors are beautiful, and you have nice details. I think I would crop a tiny bit from the top to remove the tips of the flower in the top right, as I find them pulling my eye away from the beautiful dahlia. Great shot.

Patricia: Beautiful bloom and wonderful surroundings. I would also like to see a tighter crop that filled the frame a bit more with the supporting cast but I do like this as is. Nice find superbly captured.>=))>
