This bud's for you

A dahlia bud, that is. Well, I hope you like the photo (if not the humor), and thanks for viewing.

Best regards,

I like it, Bob--both the flower and the background.

Thanks Arlen. I have been attempting to emulate some of Denise Ippolito's and Artie Morris' flower work, and I hope some of their influence shows.

Good colours. I find the bud in the background distracting, as it interferes with the foreground one.

What a palette of colors in only one bud!

Thank you Paulo and Thierry. Paulo: Your thoughts about the background bud are well taken.
