Ian, I like the close-up detail and the overal compo very much. The colors are also very nice. Well done.

As fine a dahlia image as I've seen Ian. Beautiful color and perfect dof decision for my tastes. Superb comp as well.

I love the colors and the sharpness and the glow of the yellows.

Ian, I'm so sorry you didn't include a larger image. The colors are grands as is the light. I suspect this version has compression problems. It doesn't look quite as sharp as your normal work, or as I peer more closely, another thought occurs to me. Perhaps shooting at a slightly more horizontal focal plane might have give you different results.
Your focal plane appears to have been more vertical with a focal point on the far petals, and perhaps that was your intent.
Regards,
Carol

Take care.
This one really demands all the ATTENTION from the viewer. Dynamic, lots of energy and movement. A very fine dahlia image for sure.
Another beauty!
