Touch of Glow
An interesting color in a dahlia I shot last year.. I liked how this had a bit of a nice glow in the center - slightly enhanced using a NIK filter - glamour glow I believe.

Canon 5D Mark II
Canon 100mm Macro
ISO-160
f/2.8, 1/500 of a second

I too love the color in this dahlia, great job Ned. The touch of NIK's glamour glow filter adds a nice soft/dreamy effect.
Looks great!

One of my favorite dahlia varieties, too, Ned. Great capture on the glow. They really do pick that up when backlit. I'd suggest to consider taming the bright green foliage directly beneath the flower, though. It picked up a bit toooo much glow to play nicely with the flower.

Nice shot Ned! Love the colors and the glow. I also like your choice for comp and DOF.
