Dahlia
by Arman Bilge
This is a dahlia I found in my yard. I liked the contrast between the open flower and the closed. To achieve the green blur in the background I had an aperture of f/5.
Equipment: Nikon D70, Sigma 55-200 mm lens, tripod

    Excellent detail in this macro. Beautiful shot. Congrats on POTD!

  2. Anurag Anurag Says:

    Good colors and contrast. Great light and Ideal sharpness. However you could have composed so as to avoid the overlapping of the bud and the flower.

  3. Cliff Young Says:

    For me the lighting, colours and almost perfect symmentry of the open flower make this an appealing photograph. I find the overlapping flower a bit of a distraction and think the background could have been thrown a little more out of focus.

  8. planet lover Says:

    Beautiful detail on both flowers. However, I would have liked the flowers centered a bit more. Too much empty space on the right.

    I like the raindrop on the bud, nice shot.

  10. Bobbi Bobbi Says:

    For me this is perfect in all ways. It’s as if the dahlia in bloom is having a conversation with the dahlia bud. Beautiful!
