Autumn Flowers (in colour)

This lovely dahlia photo is a work of art! The colors are soft and blend perfectly, while the center is sharp to catch the eye. The edges are blended softly and gradually, and I can see this hanging on a wall. Gorgeous, and congratulations on your Top 10 in Autumn Flowers!

Hardy cosmos manage to look delicate while lasting into the autumn, and this photo captures them beautifully. It is sharp in the center while blending softly away with a lovely muted background. The negative space highlights the flowers very well. Lovely, and congratulations on your Top 10 in Autumn Flowers!

A mass of flowers can sometimes be hard to capture but this one of seaside daisies is lovely. It is perfectly sharp in the center which draws the eye there, while very gently becoming soft at the edges. The even lighting enhances the soft colors. Congratulations on your Top 10 in Autumn Flowers!

There were so many gorgeous photos submitted for this contest but this one drew me back several times. Anemones are so delicate and graceful, and this composition captures them beautifully. The way they are woven together, the lovely, soft colors and the muted background give a photo that is wall worthy. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on First Place in Autumn Flowers!

Zinnias are a bright spot in flowers that bloom in autumn, and the colors of this lovely photo really pop. The centered composition works very well and the selected aperture draws the eye to the center perfectly. Well done, and congratulations on your Top 10 in Autumn Flowers!
