Burgundy
This seems to be an apt title for such a beautifully colored dahlia this season...

100mm macro
natural lighting
ISO-200
f/22
selective softening

Thanks for the comments, guys... appreciate them.. Darren, I really wondered about burning to corners on this one, but decided not to since the center was so dark. I think I will look at that, though to see... Thanks! again!! :smile:

I've really enjoyed your dahlia shots, Ned - we've got some growing out in the garden, and I'm looking at them differently now! It wouldn't have occurred to me to focus in on the details like you have. If I ever get a decent macro lens, I'll being trying out some of this stuff.

BTW, I'm not bothered by the edges in this one - I like the way it frames the composition. Very nice!
