Colleen, this is breath taking! I feel like I am looking at a beautiful work of art that was painted by an "Old Master". You really are an artist with the lens!!! #6946291

Getting to the bottom of the comments is quite a chore! :-)

Lovely. Love what you did with textures.

Question: What did you do to keep the flower bright and clear?

Thanks very much, Anita!

I just masked out the texture over the blossom. It's a very bright dahlia to begin with--I've got more blooming now! :) #7843199
