white-purple dahlia

Posted by ManuelaR (Hainburg (Frankfurt/Main), Germany) on 13 November 2006 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

One day late October, we decided my husband, Frank and I, to take our cameras and walk around our town, along the river Main. As I suspected, he once again took the Canon 350D and I had no choice but to take the little Olympus. Along our path, this perfect dahlia smiled at me, the colours were stunning, was not sure it would come out as the weather turned dark & cloudy.
However, I liked the result very much.
What about you?
No special effects added whatsoever.

Beautiful shot. However, maybe filling the frame with just the flower would yield another good effect.
