Description

I was experimenting with this flower. I took the photo from behind and towards the sky. I did a little bit of post work with a tweak of the color, contrast and an unsharp mask. I liked the results. Oh, and I cropped and framed it. I hope you like Zinnias. Because all my seedlings have grown to full-blooming plants. I am in Heaven! The next one I have planned, is extra-special :) Even if I say so myself. So be sure to keep a look out for my next upload! My previous upload, "~Chlorochroa sayi~". Thank you for your kind comments and taking the time to stop by. I appreciate it. I am catching up a little bit at a time. I hope to hit your gallery soon, if I haven't already! Have a Super Day! ~Melinda~

Wonderful shot, great colors and finish. Oh, topic, too. We rarely see the back of a flower in such detail.

Usually my garden is 50% zinnias since I adore them. Old fashioned flowers with a happy feel...This is a stellar shot and postwork. The affect is magnificent.

So that's how a zinnia looks from behind! I've always wondered about that. And I do love the species...they have the most exquisite petals and pistils! Anyway, terrific POV, clarity, colors and textures -- especially the veins -- in this fine macro, Melinda!
