About the Image(s)

In Kentucky we are approaching the end of the growing season, I was helping my wife "clean" up the flower beds and this Zinnia caught my eye. I wanted to try the focus stacking technique, but the clouds were not being very cooperative. The natural light was changing continuously, preventing the lengthy exposure process needed for focus stacking. I wanted to get this exposure on line today. We should have a few more good days before Fall really sets in, maybe I can submit a "stacked" image next month.
Exposure was made with my Nikon D610 w/105mm Micro Nikon. Settings were ISO 200 at 1/30 sec and f/32. Minor adjustments for the final image were made Lightroom.
