I took this photo of a red, semi-double Zinnia in my backyard. The camera was a Nikon Z7100, 70mm, aperture 4.5, 1/250, ISO 640. The background is the natural foliage of the flower. I darkened the background, cropped it to 4x5, and added a slight vignette. Zinnias and Dahlias are my favorite floral subjects because they have many variations, all of them beautiful.
