Dahlia Fireball

f/1.4 unmanipulated....thanks for looking

Great shot. Shallow Depth has done great to this shot

Mike, this is really a gorgeous image. I call these type of images, "dream time images" . Your b/g directly behind flower, and upwards from there is simply spectacular. Wonderful soft colors are what makes this special. Think if this were mine would try to eliminate purple flower on right hand side. Superb capture here, well done!

Very nice work. looks like fire.

Excellent, perfect DoF and dreamy color!

 

All the best, Pamela

I love the shallow DOF, and the little splashes of purple. Colors are wonderful!

lovely image , reminds me of an oil painting .

Beautiful. Almost looks painted. Wonderful lighting and shooting this wide open gives it is such a dreamy quality. A real winner. Regards, David
