Dahlia - 4

by Ramamohan Pai

Gallery: FloraPosted September 16, 2012119 views9 comments

Simple centered composition for a Pink Dahlia with some Dew. Wish the Dahlia was more symmetrical to organize the petals without much clipping.

ND300s, AFD200mm F/4 Micronikkor, F/13, 1/100 Sec, ISO400, Diffuser and Tripod.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Dahlia Abstract-3 and let me know this one appeals to you or not.

Yes, Ram, it's hard to find them perfectly symmetrical, but this is pretty darn close. Even the dew looks symmetrical. The symmetry was the first thing that struck me about the image. However, I also like the gorgeous color and tone. Certainly one of the best dahlia images I've seen.

Those dew drops are the icing on a very pretty dahlia. Beautiful color and detail.

I love the light and colors here, Ram. The dewdrops are a bonus! I don't mind the lack of symmetry, just beautiful!

The drops pushed this one up several notches! I love all the detail from edge to center!

Hi Ram

I Agree with Scott, no problem with the Symmetry

The problem here is "wish it were mine"

exquisite color, detail and light
