Good Morning Everyone,

Today, I am posting a beautiful dahlia.

Autumn can show us beautiful late blooming flowers as well as the lovely colours that we see on the trees. This lovely specimen was captured on the banks a stream flowing through Luxembourg City.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Please feel free to offer feedback on any aspect of the photograph. Bev :-)

Shot in raw.
Cropped and sharpened in PSE6

i like the colors and right brightness that lead to great sharpness. good job, Bev

Good morning Bev,
Lovely off centering of this featured dahlia. The reddish tip of the predominantly orange petals enhances my appreciation of the flower's symmetry. I would need to dig up my dahlias later in the season, dust them with fungicide, and store them for next season. Best regards.

well done
Hazara

Beautiful tones you have doing on her Bev! One of your best!smooth as glass! Love how you processed this. This is a case where I think it doesn't need any further sharpening, even though it's a little soft, that is OK, it adds to the overall feeling here. Beautiful shot!

Hello Beverley, the sharp quality of this shot is wonderful.The colours seem to summarise autumn, as your title suggests.
I like the placing of the flower in the frame.
And the actual frame complements the shot.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hi Bev!
Congratulations! Wonderful macro with vibrant colours.!
The focus and details are great. Fabulous light!
I like the reflection in the center of the flower! Excellent DOF and presentation.
Ciao! Vanda

Hi Bev :)

I don't know how I missed this wonderful contribution from you! I like the soft color tones of the Dahlia with superb sharpness. The POV and DOF are very well managed. I like the off-center position of the Dahlia.
Very well done, my friend!

best regards,
Paras

Bonjour Beverley.
Les premières couleurs d’automne montrent leurs premiers effets sur la nature et l’on voit qu’elle se prépare à hiverner pour quelques mois. Tu en as encore bien su profiter pour en faire une belle image.

Bonne journée.

Urs
