I like the contrast of the blossoms and leaves. They're in a front yard around the corner. Do you think the three bright green leaves sticking out above the lower greenery detract from the look of the photo?
I wish they weren't there myself. I've cropped and treated it differently with Picnik.
Which one do you like best, please?
Today's dahlia, Kidd's Climax. Facts from Swan Island Dahlias--Bloom: 10" Pink and Cream Blend, Bush: 3 1/2'
I liked the cropped version best. The greener leaves are really just a distraction and don't add to the beauty of the photo. But, you already knew that! You consistenly take the most gorgeous photos! I follow you every day!
ReplyDeleteDandelion leaves are just about everywhere. I don't mind them. the cropped one is nice because you have a closer look at the flowers.
ReplyDeleteMy yellow roses are only slightly scented but I smell then anyway. MB
That last photo is marvelous and they really look so beautiful. Cool colors too. Thanks for the visit.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the cropped version best. But there are lovely shades of pink in all three photos.
ReplyDeleteYep, I agree. The cropped one is a keeper. Wow, that dahlia is something else. They really have become one of my wife's favorites.
ReplyDeleteI like them both for different reasons. The first one because it makes it unique. The second for the little clover sneaking in to the shot.
ReplyDeleteThank you for leaving your pretty's on floral friday!
Your cropped one is nicest to me. I am not sure how others might like them but I also like the extreme macro one.
