Zinnia

Gallery: FloraPosted September 5, 201040 views14 comments

Bought a small container of zinnias at Home Depot for 97 cents, took them home and and stuck them in the ground. That was three weeks ago, and they've provided many photo ops since. Not a bad deal.

Wayne: One must view the large version to really appreciate the precision of the center details. I like the BG as well. Very nicely done. >=))>

Fine comp, perfect detail in the center and I like the dof decision works well for me. The bg also adds a lot of interest. Beautifully done and really good value. (smile)

Good DOF and selective focus. Like the splash of complementary pastel colors in the bg. Well done.

Nice one Wayne. Nice color combo with the flower and BG. The detail in the center is superb. I like your DOF/POF choice.

Wayne, Really like the POF here

. Great details at the center. Also like the inclusion of the pinks/purples in the background which help the yellows stand out better.
