seemingly trivial
yet vital to the whole
notice the details

This is a Dahlietta flower that we planted outside in our yard, which is a hybrid and smaller than a regular dahlia bloom. For this macro image, I wanted to focus on the small, but important details of the center flower pistils. (Also, the original color was a brighter orange, so I applied a texture to the photo to soften the overall colors.)

So very soft and peaceful.
I love the soft pastel color, Fergie. The texture you added really worked well with the photo. I also really like the details. Beautiful over-all.
so beautiful… I loved so much. Thanks and Love, nia

Absolutely stunning!!!!

This is an another great photo.
such a sensual image, i understand why you softened the colour, the details are already so powerful 🙂
I love how to did focus on the details. Sometimes we don’t take the time to look at all the small details of flowers. I like the color effect and some day I will learn how to do that myself..you do take amazing photos…Michelle
beautiful colors, keep going 🙂 and hey thanks for the visit to my blog
Simply beautiful! Your photographs are truly works of art. 🙂
What a soft and gentle colour, I’d quite like to see the original. The macro detail is stunning.
Delicate details! Soft and beautiful!
Dahlietta flower that you’ve planted outside in your yard:
it is so important to DO something like this …
Awesome! I agree with Myra–a work of art!
A lovely color and thoughtful words. Thank you for sharing at Your Sunday Best this week. xo
beautiful image! Love the softness!
Really beautiful image and I love the soft colour. Much prettier than the bright colours of some Dahlias.
How pretty and gorgeous! It’s a miracle macro world.
the center is amazing, great capture
Beautiful. I love the macro view. I think about this sometimes with broccoli, of all things. A close up look, and you have a forrest of little green trees. Glad I stumbled here this morning!
Wonderful image! It’s amazing. I’m envious for your capability.
Such tender and soft tones and colours. It’s almost as I am inside the Dahlia. The light brings the petals of the beautiful flower to all my senses’ awareness. I love the use of limited depth of field in the picture. As always a delightful photograph.
I really like the soft subtle colour.
Well done Fergie, I love the pastel tones and the detali is a mazing!
This fabulous photo reveals to me different personalities for each pistil!
I love that soft look of this photo.
oh how pretty and delicate this is, lovely details indeed 🙂
How delicate and utterly magical.
It’s a fine pic, I like it.
Lovely!
Good photograph with apt Haiku.
Love the beautiful details.
the evidence is in the beautiful details! stunning photo.
Another beauty – you are wise indeed, Fergie!
Yes, it is always about noticing ‘the details’ … especially in your beautiful photographs and their lyrical captions.
What a beautiful pale shade of old rose! Lovely!
So beautiful and I think I like this soft color more than the original.
❤ love its color and texture
I love this… this is so gorgeous.
