Dahlia Season Fun
I can't resist going to my favorite Dahlia farm near Tacoma every year. Over his many years of business in flower growing, he has created some fantastic varieties. Here's one I call, "Curly," posted just for fun.

d700, 105, cpl, handheld; f 8, 1/125, ISO 640, +1.67 EV

Thanks for taking a look.

That looks cool - almost papery..

Wow, do I love this. Of course the color really sings, but I really like the texture.

I love the the wild curves of the petals and the color variation between the fully open petals and the flower center to the right. I can't decide whether the off center, pointing out of the frame flower center creates good tension or not. I keep getting drawn to it and then out, and the left side of the frame is worth more attention than I give it.
