Wonderful detail and color Wayne. I like the orange BG around the main bloom. Well composed, captured and displayed.

Your colorful backgrounds are lovely and this one is no exception. They make a whole bouquette out of a single bloom. The bright orange is very eyecatching. Nice image

Beautiful image and a fantastic bg IMO, orange and green almost always work well together I think.

I am going to agree with the comments on the color. I really like the comp also.

I love the simplicity of the composition. The colors are wonderful and I like the way the background orange complements the flower. Very nicely done!

Background and the Shallow Depth of Field steals the show here. I would not mind a bit more of the center in focus but not sure what it would do to the sherbety background there.

Lovely work and rich striking colors.

Wonderful colours and comp.
For my personal taste, I'd like to see more of the center in focus.
But delightful as is!

Wayne, you're a master of the background. Love the way the orange BG radiates around the zinnia. Like Ram, I think it would have been nice for more of the center of the flower to be in focus, but certainly not at the expense of the soft BG. Beautiful as is.

Beautiful colors Wayne but It's the dof decision that really appeals to me. I also like the mood of this very much. Very fine work.
I might crop a bit from the bottom and possibly the top to 4:5 to put more emphasis on the bloom but it's purely subjective.

The orange is an eye catcher - nice job not blowing it and I like how it is separated from the background

Love your work with the zinnia Wayne, you have great group of images here..
I especially like this one for the soft dreamy color palette.
Perhaps my fav for its pure, simple, and almost ethereal beauty.
