Dahlia Macro

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 26 October 2009 in Plant & Nature.

I love the curves of the inner petals of some Dahlias, such as this one from my garden. Taken indoors, natural light. Used Topaz Detail.

*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.

If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!

A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

These curves are exquisite...another "abstract" beauty.
The lines are very expressive and that soft soft pink, yummmm !!!
