In September each year, a nearby garden centre holds a Dahlia Festival, with lots of its blooms on show for several days. This photo was to highlight the attractiveness and radiance of each one of the beautiful dahlia flowers. It was taken hand-held in natural light, using a 40mm prime lens at f/4, 1/100s, and ISO 1250, and enhanced in PSP X4:

A very nice image. Its a little bit soft on the tips of the outer petals but i can live with that.

Thank you Barbara and Dean, I'm pleased you like it.
You are quite right about the petal tips, Dean; I should have raised the ISO to be able to increase the depth of field (probably only 2 or 3 cm at that distance) by stopping down more, as these are quite deep flower heads.
