What amazing detail when zoomed in like this. Sharp and an "in your face" composition. Sure has impact!

Excellent top down zinnia photo, Howard. I like the square crop which emphasizes the symmetrical design. The trick with top down photos of this variety of zinnia is to get good detail throughout the flower but yet not bring in a lot of detail below the flower. You handled this issue extremely well here.

A terrific look at the details here, Howard. The curled petals with their red and white make a fine surrounding for the flower's innards. The square crop emphasizes the symmetry very well.
