Dahlias (in colour)

Such a light and charming portrait of dahlias! The various colors of peach in the bouquet blend beautifully with the background and the lovely bokeh adds to the atmosphere. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your Top 10 in "Dahlias"!

The heart of the dahlia is part of what makes them so special in the botanical world, and this image captures it beautifully! The geometric shapes blend gently together and the lovely pinks and yellows create harmony. A square crop is well suited to dahlias and highlights the complete interior of the flower. Well done, and congratulations on First Place in "Dahlias"!

This gorgeous image has been skillfully created with effective focus and lighting! There were a number of images of dark dahlias but they are difficult to portray successfully. I love how the light captures the lighter colors of the center of the flower, yet retains the deep red colour of the petals as well as the images of the leaves in the background. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your Top 10 in "Dahlias"!

The swirls and curls of the center of this dahlia form a frame for the interior of the flower. The lighting is subtle and helps to capture the textures even though it is all one colour. Lovely, and congratulations on your Top 10 in "Dahlias"!

Such a beautiful, ethereal image, yet the insect gives it an earthy aura. With so many beautiful images to choose from, this one stood out for its artistic effect and design. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your Top 10 in "Dahlias"!
