OK Here's a Dahlia
Thanks Jeremy for the inspiration to process a dahlia image tonight!

This was a challenging image since i used a 6T diopter on my 200 Macro. I wanted to bring out the color in the water droplets.
Might get over there tomorrow if I get time, especially if its raining!---

This is really well done Jack, I especially like the detail captured in the droplets and how well the colors blend in the opening bud. Wonderful comp. and it was good meeting you yesterday.

What Craig said! Very nice Jack, and very creative to concentrate on a bud when I'll bet there were lots of distracting blooms around :biggrin: . This already has a metallic look; I'll bet it would really sparkle if printed on metallic paper.

That really pops Jack! Love those water droplet reflections and those electric colors!
