I like the main flower and the position it's in. However, for me, I find the lower flower distracting-especially since it's lighter than the main and is drawing my attention to it and away from the main flower. The motion effect is very good but to me, doesn't transfer the energy to the main. :(   Posted: 10/05/2025 04:12:27

Hi Bob, pretty striking image of the Dahlia. I'm fascinated by the halos created around the flower itself. The green background is a perfect offset for the subject. Like Marti, the bright flower, with all the motion, seems to pull something away from the main subject, and in fact, turns into the main subject itself. Lind of wish it was just the blossom and the halos around it. Anyway, these things are often tricky, and it's really what's in the eye of the artist.   Posted: 10/07/2025 21:59:11
