I really liked the black borders of the sepals, highlighting their scalloped form on this little bud.

Beautiful macro, Chris! The touch of dark pinks amongst all the green hues is especially striking! #4763373Nikki McDonald September 08, 2007
I like this soo much, Chris. I have spent hours (well, not quite, but a very long time) trying to get a good photo of a zinnia bud. I love the scalloped design and the spherical shape. You have captured both and in a very pleasing composition--nice dof. I have never gotten anything like this. #4763449Michelle L. Frick September 08, 2007
Beautifully seen Chris - fabulous colors, comp and DOF! #4763539Amber Kennedy September 08, 2007
