How Do You Like Your Dahlia?

[JAS_Photo]

Another Lumix capture. This dahlia was set out on the sidewalk by the flower shop and when I walked by, I decided to stop and take a couple of shots with the P&S. The processing was done in Lightroom 3 and finished off in Elements. It seemed no matter what I did I could not make the dahlia look bad. So how do you like your dahlia? Poll is multiple choice.

Lovely set of Dahlias JAS.
I realy like the effect on the second image, Could you possible tell me what it is and how you acheived it?

All the best to you.

Hi Ihosphotography, thanks for the comment. The colours in all three images were changed in Lightroom 3 using a preset, then the image is sent to Photoshop Elements where I may have given them a 'pop' in Topaz Adjust or Topaz Detail. They are then framed and signed. :)

The second one's colors give a sense of just starting to fade, even though I know it's not. But all three are good.
