[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It is so easy to grow zinnias from seed. They are currently in peak blooms, and taking pictures of them is a delight. They have such beautiful symmetry. The cut flowers usually last only about a few days if you don't change the water.

Zinnias are true American natives that originated from the Southwest US, Mexico and Central America. The original was a purplish wildflower that grew in the Mexican deserts. Hybridizers have turned it into one of the most popular bedding plants.

Zinnias grow to between 6 and 40 inches in height with single and double blossoms varying in diameter from less than an inch to 7 inches. The petals can be any of a wide range of colors or multicolored.

It makes me think to West Side Story song:
"I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight..." :-)

Very clean image, the bright and neutral B/G allows a truly underlining on the simple and beautiful flowers.

YES !!!!!!

Hi Danilo!

Brings me back to the time I had beds of Zinnias right here :-) They're so colourful and oh so pretty. Very nice against the plain background.

Love it!

Hi Dan,

Sensya na, ngayon lang ako uli nakadalaw ng TL. Dumating Mrs ko last 15 galing ng KSA kaya busy masyado. Pati sa kabilang site di pa ko uli nagpo post ng larawan. Medyo nasasanay nako sa N70. Mas gustong kong gamitin ang manual kesa AF. Mas maganda ang Sigma 105mm macro kesa dito sa lens na pinadala pero mas ok ito sa portrait. Mas maganda pa ding kumuha ng macro yung sony ko kesa dito sa lens ng d70. 29k ang presyo ng macro 105mm dito kaya madugo. Pagtyagaan ko na lang ito for the meantime. Yung huli kong post sa theme, so-so pix lang yun :-) gusto ko lang maiba kasi I know puro trees ang framings nila. Meron akong naka prepare na wooden tulay framed by banana leaves kaso pinalitan ko. Me toyo utak ko kung minsan :-)

Magaganda ang Zinnias mo, ibat-ibang kulay at maayos ang pagkakakuha at pagkaka presentar. Gandang ilagay na poster sa wall.

Mabuhay ka Dan.
Dennis
