Our Marigolds are at the base of each tomato plant, they're a natural insect repellent.. I waited yesterday until the sun went behind a cloud, can't talk my wife into holding a diffuser for me :wink:

Howard - The green surrounding really makes the marigold pop. The layers with the yellow outline really stand out for me. Good work :wink:

Take your wife along next time round :razz:

The orange marigold really pops from the green bg, and is nicely positioned in the frame, Howard. Nicely composed, taken, and displayed.

As everyone already mentioned Howard, this bloom really pops. Almost has a 3-D feel.
