Deepest Red

A portrait of a deep red dahlia from The Plantation Garden in Norwich, captured against a pure black background. The petals are richly saturated, glowing crimson and burgundy, with hints of purple radiating from the flower’s centre. The composition isolates the bloom in darkness, creating a sense of quiet drama, like a velvet curtain rising to reveal a star performer. The central petals are still tightly curled, hinting at unfolding mysteries within.
