WOW, that just bursts out at me. I love it. Have you ever shown your work outside of this. I was at a showing of "natural" photographs this past Sunday at the Rockefeller Nature Preserve Gallary, and I've got to tell you, your work is better than a lot of what they were charging big bucks for.

Thank you so very, very much for your kind words.

I am not really a very good photographer - I get lucky sometimes and these meme entries are those lucky shots. My hands shake too much and I can never really get the hang of the aperture and shutter settings. I think I'm a lot better with fixing things in Photoshop than I am with taking the actual pictures.

No complain on my part, that's one pretty pretty dahlia. :-)

[elrhiarhodan]

Thank you! They are sooo photogenic, the Matt Bomer of the floral world.

That has got to be one of the funniest replys I've ever read and it's so true.

LOL hmmm so what a Tim DeKay flower would be?

[elrhiarhodan]

Something a little more subtle, I'd think.

Tiger lily, maybe?

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Oh lovely! Good choice :-)

Wow, what brilliant color and contrast you have captured here!! Beautiful!!!

[elrhiarhodan]

Thank you so very much!

Thank you!

You are such a one-trick pony... ;P

Also? Totally phallic. With a mushroom-shaped head. Obviously.

*g*

Seriously though, this looks gorgeous!

[elrhiarhodan]

I know I am, but what are you?

And yes, of course, totally phallic.

And also, thank you!

No one should shoot you for liking the flower of your choice.
Personally I like pansies. Remind me of my grandmother and early childhood.

[elrhiarhodan]

Thanks! It just seems that every flower picture I post is a dahlia.

That's one of those things I just stare at and go, "Fucking shit, nature MADE THAT."

<3

[elrhiarhodan]

Yeah - I know. It's a pretty amazing flower.

Thank you!

That dahlia looks downright exotic.

It's a great photo. I like the bright red and sharp detail against the soft green background.

[elrhiarhodan]

Thank you!
