No, I sure don't. I took the picture at a nursery, and I didn't see any labels for this. It was among other flowers that were planted as part of a showcase garden. I'll bet if you "Google" the word dahlia and click on images, a lot of pics will show up, and maybe there will be one like this.

Thank you. I really concentrated on the composition with this one. I kind of know what consititutes good composition, but I don't always heed the rules. And some rules I hate pretty much. I don't like the way so many people will stick a round thing (sunflower, sunset sun, etc.) in the lower left or right corner. I KNOW that's the rule, but I don't like it. I also don't like deliberately crooked, skewed angles and warped horizon lines. Looks stupid to me. I DO like the rule of thirds and composing on the diagonal. Those tend to look good.

OK, and if I find something that I think fits the bill, I'll tell you about it.
