The crop of local Dahlia's this year is as stunning as ever. Although I haven't done many floral shoots this year I ventured out last week to take in some local blooms at Klug's Dahlia's in Battle Ground. This is a favorite of mine and was shot mid-day under some passing cloud cover.
I usually carry a piece of black matboard with me to help isolate the main bloom.

Nice, Craig. Wonderful lighting, the bloom really pops.
