Dahlia 7

Hi all.

More dahlias from me. I have a few more to post, then I will move on to some other flowers.

This is one from my yard. I have taken several photos of the white dahlia blooms - I would like your honest thoughts on this one.

Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Nathan: I really like the pattern you have captured here. The delicate color palette is also very attractive, particularly with the hint of pink in the bottom. I am a little ambivalent about the composition though - I think it would work better if the carpel area is little more towards the center. Or perhaps have it positioned in the LLC instead of the ULC.

Nathan - Unconventional composition but a nice one. I will not attempt this and if attempted may not process it but when you present these Dahlia compositions I seem to like them

Nice, clean Dahlia and some good lighting to go along.

Very nice, Nathan. Frame filling good. I especially like the translucent petals at the bottom.

I like the composition and the whites are handled very well. Great depth of field and sharpness.

Yes, unusual comp, but nice. Great handling of the subtle shades of white and color. Well done Nathan!
