Description
"Fall Dahlia" was created in my North Carolina garden. I practice mindful photography. When I am out and about, I see what "calls to me" to be experienced. This dahlia was just waiting to have a moment with me and posed for its portrait. The end of day light was just right on the flower, and was allowing the leaves around it to become very dark. A touch of processing made it easy to darken the background leaves further, mirroring my actual experience of this flower. I loved the intricacies of the petal and thought that this black and white version helped these intricacies speak.
If you print on paper, please spring for one of the premium papers, especially Cool Tone Picture Rag or Somerset Velvet, as the prints are much richer on better paper. This image would also look lovely printed on metal (glossy), glossy paper, or canvas. I have it hanging in my own home on printed on glossy metal, without framing, for a clean, contemporary look.

IMPORTANT PRINTING INFORMATION: Our professional printing facility has a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. By default, my images are available in standard and sometimes non-standard sizes, just as I composed them in camera. Any artistic image made by any artist, usually starts in a format where the width to the height is in a ratio of 2 to 3 or 3 to 4. For any artist’s print, this pre-determined proportion creates a requirement, at certain print sizes, for the use of custom mats and frames. If you are framing one of my prints yourself, this can sometimes add to the final costs. During your selection of my art, (on the size tab) note that you can select a NATURAL, VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. The NATURAL format is my original-sized and proportioned art as composed and processed during my creation of the image. For some printed pieces, this selection will require non-standard size mats and frames. The VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE formats will produce an image which will always work in standard-size mats and frames. Although some portions of my original composition may not be included in the final printed image if you chose this sizing, these selections may still produce beautiful works of art which could better suit your needs or style. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing your favorite images in these new formats, in the various sizes and wide selections of mats, frames, canvas, metal, wood or acrylic materials. Of course, if you select a mat and frame from my printer, they will custom make the mat and frame to fit your print, at whatever size you select. The prices are quite reasonable.
