Dahlia Burst

   Often when I take pictures of flowers, I can't avoid distracting things in the background. I really loved this Dahlia, but there was no way I could get a picture of it without something I didn't want in the background.  A lot of times I will put in a new background, usually black but sometimes a gradient background.  I really wanted something different and decided to play with some of the filters in photoshop.  For this one I used the zoom blur.  I really like how it turned out!
