Dahlia 2

This is the shot that I would have gone for if we weren’t doing sooc & nifty fifty.
I used a macro lens, got a lot closer, increased the colour & sharpened the image.

Great detail and clarity ! fav

[Phil Sandford]

This is also lovely. Actually prefer the 50mm one, possibly because of its composition.

[Jacqueline]

Beautifully done

yes I think the close up centralised shot is better, more artistic than the SOCC

[LManning (Laura)]

I like them both for different reasons.

It is so hard to resist the temptation of macro and post processing. I love this image.
