It’s Dahlia season. I am experimenting with some dahlia flowers. I will post a few of those in succeeding posts. My first post in this forum.
Appreciate comments and suggestions

I chose this one because I liked the subtle shades of colors on lighter colored petals. A light tent used for natural backlighting and diffusing light. Used the built in flash with a compensation of -2.

Ravi: Classic dahlia comp and a wonderful result. I like this very much as is but I like it better flipped horizontally. Our western mind is trained to read left to right and I find compositions that tend to flow that way a bit more natural and easy to view. Just my 2 cents. Most excellent either way. >=))>
