Judges' comments:
Zinnia pops off the page; very nice texture in the leaves; red may be a bit over-saturated
Maker's notes:

This image was taken at the La Crosse Green house.  Camera was tripod mounted.   No external lighting was needed, just sun coming in through the roof.  Camera was my Canon 7D Mark II with an 18-135mm zoom lens.  Cameras was set at f/25 for maximum depth of field, ISO 400 which resulted in a shutter speed of 1/20 sec (that's why tripod was needed}. Focus was done manually on live view with 10X magnification. Processed in Lightroom and Printed from Photoshop.
