Usually I shy away from photographing all-red flowers, but the spread-out petals on this dahlia from Mill Creek Park just called out to me. Happy Hump Day, everyone!

  The reds look great here, Monnie. The detail is spot on and the depth of field excellent. Beautiful opening act :)

  I perfectly understand your issue with red flowers. I've have sooo many lousy red flower shots.:(

This is spectacular Monnie!! The colors, clarity and DOF are superb!!

  Glad you gave in to red this time, Monnie. Tough they can be, but you did a great job with this one.

  Of course, I love the color, and the crisp sharpness against the soft bg is just perfect! HTD!
