This is indeed a beautiful flower, the yellow blossoms sit on it like a golden crown. Nicely taken and good mixed media work!

Lovely stylised shot of this flower with beautiful blended background and added features to give this a very composed image. The yellow star like stamens add interest and draw the eye. Very nice work in all elements. Well done.

I feel the same way you do about Zinnias. Ut does look like the cnter of the flower is filled with little flowers. I aleays try to snap some pictures if that inner bouquet.

Love the beautiful image you created here. Love the way the pink petals stand out and the lovely focus on them. The other additions make you feel the flower is softly flowing on a breeze. There's such a nice soothng feel to this image. Wish I had a six to bless this with!

Good Luck in the Contest!

Beautiful pink zinnia with a great yellow center. Love the added layers and textures creating a very artistic look to this image. Great focus and frame with a lovely green and pink background. Excellent technique and very creatively presented. Well done!

Another photo turned into a work of art. Framing is good, but hard to comment on background or depth of field because of the alterations. Nice balance between the colors of the flowers in balance to its surroundings.

Nicely done. Looks like a good contest entry. Good exposure, color and focus. Depth of field works well. Modifications are well done and really give the picture a unique quality. Good luck in the contest.

Absolutely love this photo.
All the layers are beautifully blended, and even though the zennia is not a perfect flower, its beauty is enhanced by all your effects.
Thanks so much for sharing
