The lowly Zinnia

[OMP Ron]

This is one of my wife's zinnias arrangements, we grow them for their beauty, their hardiness, the fact you can harvest cut flowers all summer, but most importantly the deer (known affectionately to gardeners as rats with hooves) don't eat them.

Beautiful colors, but the orange looks a little over saturated.

Zinnias are one of my favorite flowers. Good shot.

I agree it does look a little over saturated but I didn't add any saturation, I did however increase the black levels to get a darker black background and in turn it somehow increased the saturation or vibrancy of the shot. However I posted this particular photo because the flower was the best most vibrant example of an orange Zinnia that I have ever seen. Thanks for all the kind comments.
