Oh, so pretty Kelly!  Your photo is so bright and sunny - zinnia’s always make me happy and thank of my Grandpa who grew them each year.   I like your blending and masking and the background you chose really enhances it all.

You could be right, it looks like a Zinnia because it looked like the one my Grandpa grew, but who knows?    ?

Actually I came back to say if I could see the rest of it - leaves, stems, etc I’d know better.   But, I can see the leaves and they are definitely not marigolds, those leaves are almost fern-like.   And, they normally don’t have the yellow center if it’s the kind below.   But, we can say yours is another kind of marigold...  ?

Haha, No you are correct! I just saw orange flower and thought marigold. ??‍♀️ I worked on it this morning and hadn’t had much coffee. ?

Beautiful!  I like how the detail on the background looks like an extension of the that gorgeous photo. 

How beautiful is that??

what a gorgeous picture and really great extraction!  The background is so subtle and then the flower pops even bigger.  Also like the 3 frames you ushed behind it.
