Hi all.

Every time I looked through the view finder at one of these dahlias, I had a vision to make it with the 'trendy, high contrast, gritty' look. I liked the effect. :)

Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Not at all what I would think of for a dahlia, Nathan, but it really works. Beautiful image.

Like it a lot!
Great colours and nice angle.
I'd brighten it up a bit.

Nathan: Really like what you've done here. It is bold without being garish. Well conceived and executed.>=))>

This is another one that caused me to sigh when I opened it. It's just beautiful. I love this effect.
