Dahlia bloom demonstrates gradient color transition from red to yellow tones

Macro photograph of double-form dahlia displaying symmetrical petal arrangement with precise chromatic gradation. Image exhibits color temperature shift from deep crimson center through orange-red transition zones to pale yellow-cream outer petals. Composition uses shallow depth of field isolating subject against bokeh background. Lighting technique emphasizes three-dimensional petal structure through directional illumination creating shadow definition across layered petals. Technical rendering demonstrates high resolution capture of botanical specimen with visible texture variation and color saturation across surface gradients.
