I drove over there today.
The Dahlia fields are about 1/2 way to full bloom with many many plants accessible for individual photography. If you want to full landscape shot of the fields, you are at least another week away, but if your up for some really great macro shooting get over there.
I know you've seen many images from previous years, but there is a never ending scope of photographic possibilities there, for these few weeks that the flowers are in bloom.
There is a sign out now for photographers asking that you stay on the paths and not wander into the rows. They also post times from 8am-8pm. I wonder what would happen if you showed up at 7am? They seem to be nice folks.

Thanks for the update Jack, I'll be heading that way if we get some overcast next week.

I like the color combination and composition here . . . nice detail, too

Nice colorful shot! A little edge burning at the lower right corner might help the weight a little better and focus on the center of the bloom, but it's still very effective.
