About the Image(s)
Dahlias are one of my favorites and this early morning bud was dripping with dew! The shallow depth of field kept the background nicely blurred and soft.
This was taken with my Olympus OM1 Mk11 with an Olympus 90mm macro lens. ISO 320, 1/320, @ f/5.0.

Hi Susan: Nice composition with the flower leaning to the right, then the leaves add a good point of interest.
Image seems a little too bright, I would post process this picture more and reduce the exposure. A polarizing filter would have worked well to remove the bright sheen from the leaves. There are also tools in post processing that will accomplish the same task. Posted: 10/08/2026 03:15:19
