[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I don’t normally load images two days in a row but I had to make an exception for today, May 1st here in Australia.

Best wishes for your birthday Anneke when the day arrives in your part of the world. This was last year's birthday image for Anneke and after loading Silke's birthday card, I made a point of contacting Anneke and asking if she had any preferences. A couple of items on her list were either not available in Tasmania or not in my gallery but she did mention that she liked flowers, I hope this is to your liking Anneke, another of the dahlias from City Park. The blooms on this plant are dinner plate size and the plant itself is one of a few in the bed which have multiple stakes to hold the weight of the blooms.

PP Work - PSP X

Adjusted hue and saturation - hue map - saturation shift +15, light shift -5
Removed by cloning some dirt and imperfections in the petals
Digital camera noise removal (noise 15, blend 70)

The instructions for the framing can be found here...

Hi David,
I can appreciate using the frame for Anneke, but truly, this image does not need any embellishment.
It is a perfect specimen, the colours, clarity and lighting are perfect too, well done.
Happy birthday Anneke...29?...

Another beautiful dahlia, they are such a lovely flower and not used as much for gifts as they could be, certainly are wide variety of colours and forms.
Happy birthday Anneke, welcome to the dahlia club.
Diane

WOW!! This is gorgeous!! A very beautiful flower and the colors are awesome. A very sweet gift!! TFS

Hello David,

Anneke will be ecstatic about this!
The details are unbelievably sharp and the colours perfect. You must have been thrilled yourself when you saw it on the monitor!

It matches the green b/g very well and I love your framing.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Many thanks for your warm comments on 'Abstract Symmetry - a pansy face'.
Pansies are some of the few flowers that do survive well in my garden!

Great sharpness and color on the flower, with some creative framing to finish it off. As a photograph I don't really like this type of framing. But as a birthday gift, this is sure nice to receive.


TFS,
Pedro

Hello David,

It's just perfect David - the light on this dahlia makes it shout happy birthday and a lovely sunny year.
Since this is a card I love the presentation as a card with frame as well.

Hello David
What is admirable on this tribute to Anneke is the exposure for highlights that reveals subtle details in lighter areas and of course, the artful framing.
G'day.
