Congrats to our own Morris McClung, who won the WP this week in the Flora gallery for his incredible Planet Zinnia image. Congrats Morris

Sweet!. I like everything about it, especially the center floret.
FWIW - If this were mine, I'd clone out those white petal edges.
Their uneven distribution is distracting me from the perfection of this flower.
Just something to consider, if you don't have a problem with minor touchups.

Thumbs up Morris.

That's twice that you've aced out some mighty fine photographers there. What's your secret?!
Bill, those are not white petal edges, they are snow capped peaks on Planet Zinnia.
Actually, I think that is an excellent suggestion, my friend.
John, my secret is the continued benevolence of the kindest forum on NPN. I continue to be humbled to have been picked out among those "mighty fine photographers" who post on that forum. There are some true flora artists there. In fact, some are pure geniuses.
