Love these dahlias. Several more at - http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/63949952 - http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/63949954 and http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/63949956
Tough to choose. That's why I have my "PAD 2nds" gallery.
Shot with the Nikkor 75-300 plus Canon 300D closeup lens. Starting to really like this combo. At 300 mm it is just about life size. Add the 1.4x TC and it's larger than life size.
