I take this photo at De Passiflorahoeve, this is in Gelderland { The Netherlands } . They have a butterfly garden and al sorts of flowers.Time
Midday at 14:14.Lighting
F stop f5 1/160 sec ISO 100 And I made a diffuser from a old can of Pringles that I use on my flash, this gives a very soft light on the subject.Equipment

The outstanding color and curved lines of red on the end of the petal. I love the movement an bright colors, and want them to show as good as possible.Editing
I made 3 photos from the Dahlia freehand without a Tripod. I made three shots focusing on different areas,first I focused on the front and next I focused on the middle and then I focused on the back part. I combined the three photo's together in a layer stack in PhotoshopIn my camera bag

If you have a garden with flowers or someone you know, try to make some photo's of flowers in the same matter I did it. Just practice this some time, and I think you will like it. Gr Ed van der Reek
