Ballerina Pink

A close-up macro image of a pink dahlia, its petals unfolding in layers like silky satin shells. The focus is tight on the tip of a single petal, with the rest of the bloom dissolving into a creamy blur of pink and lilac tones, shadowed in the cup of the petals. The image glows with softness, the edges of each petal delicately lit, as though the flower is whispering secrets to the light. The background fades into velvety shadow, drawing the eye inward to the intimate textures of the bloom.

This was taken at The Plantation Garden in Norwich. One of my favourite places to photgraph flowers.
