Cloned out some little black spots that were on the flower, and added a petal on the URC, because it was open negative space.  f8, 100mm, flash, ISO 400.  Not cropped. Pretty much the way it was in-camera, but just converted it to B and W. Not sure of the exact ID:)

Beautiful image -- excellent use of selective focus.

I love the luscious softness this beautiful image suggests Jackie, it makes me want to snuggle in - like the softest feather bed!

Very lovely, whatever it is (I vote dahlia....). I love the way your focus is off-center and pillowed in the soft petals. There is almost a feeling of motion the way it is set up. I'll take a ride any day!

Very delicate. I also like the selective focus on the flower's center. Nice work!

Looks too nice for a dahlia shaped zinnia. I'd go with dahlia. I like the softness too.

The B&W works well and is a pleasing high key image-my money is on the Dahlia.
