About the Image(s)

I shot this with my iPhone at the garden store. Dahlias are one of my favorite plants. I didn't buy these, but I did buy some yellow ones. (Probably the subject of next months image). I did some post processing in PS Express, also on my phone.

I can see why you like this variety of flowers. Your cellphone did a really great job of capturing this flower. It is very sharp from front to back and has lots of detail -- amazing what cellphones can do today! The whites have good detail. The colored tips make a striking image. I am looking forward to seeing your yellow flowers.   Posted: 05/14/2022 13:26:45

I think this is my favorite photo of yours. I love the details, crop, color and lighting. Well done... and using a cell phone! You know what they say - the best camera is the one you have with you.   Posted: 05/14/2022 14:12:35

I like the composition of this shot. The angle of the flower and the position of the center both pointing to the corner. Does beauty have a number? 1.61805.   Posted: 05/21/2022 12:03:37

Love those Dahlias also. As others have mentioned the colors and exposures are well done. Your crop really strengthens the shot. Knowing how/when and why to crop can be an art form in itself. I like that you chose the Portrait format.   Posted: 05/25/2022 11:31:39
