  Like your title, super DoF, lovely colors, & details Monnie. I haven't been up there for a while, do they still have the handprinted wall in the Family Garden?

  I love zinnias! I see you captured a bud in this photo too! I think the buds are almost as pretty as the flowers. Very pretty floral image, Monnie.

  Monnie- I bet that stood out like a sore thumb as it to say, hey I'm different from the rest of the flowers, take a picture of me. It does stand out from the yellow zennia and you brought out the gorgeous colors and fantastic details of the flower. Love the dof, composition, and depth of the picture. A gorgeous floral my friend.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy.
