Description
Deep within the dahlia flower a single petal has split at the tip. One side has curled around and seems to be protecting the other point which has a split tip. The smaller split tip side is surrounded and protected by the other larger and stronger side of the petal. Surrounded is a macro photograph of dahlia petals using a blending of soft, out of focus areas contrasting with sharpness highlighting just the edge of the petals. This technique focuses the viewer's attention on the repeating design and pattern found within the flower. Mary Jo Allen has specialized in this way of delving deeper into flowers and calls it ColorBlur. Looking deep into a pink and white dahlia blossom reveals gentle, soft layers of petals. This image speaks to the soul of the softness and love that only a flower can bring.
