Nice focus on the center Albert, and nice BG.  I wonder about rotating it 180 degrees - just might feel more natural to me.  A nice portrait overall.

Yes Albert, cosmos are still in bloom here too. I love your portrait of this perfect specimen and its warm representation with a beautiful soft BG.

Love the Cosmos! The BG I could like better if the luminance were cut back a bit, or perhaps darkening the midtones with levels.

Hi Albert!  Beautiful bloom!  The light and details are great.  The light spots in the background are a bit distracting but the quality of the bloom in the image is excellent.
