Black Dahlia Flower with Layered Petals in Dark Setting

Close-range photographic study of a dahlia bloom rendered in monochromatic black tonality. Petals arranged in geometric concentric layers with precisely pointed edges creating mathematical symmetry. Central floret structure visible with tubular anthers. Shallow depth of field isolates primary subject; secondary blooms render soft and indistinct. Backlighting produces fine rim illumination on petal edges. Surface texture exhibits subtle ribbing and directional striations across each petal plane. Technical execution demonstrates high-resolution detail capture with extreme tonal compression into dark grayscale palette.
