Description
I recently attended a wonderful workshop on garden photography, and one of the places we visited was Endless Summer Dahlia Farm in Camden, Maine. The dahlias were all absolutely gorgeous, and it was hard to decide what to photograph, although some were in bright sunlight, so I tried to stay in the shade.
The dahlias were all labeled, but I was too focused on the beauty around me and deciding how to capture it that I didn't take note of them. Now I wish I had!
Processed in Photoshop with Topaz Impression and the Photoshop twirl filter, and I darkened the background to enhance the effect.
