This is a late blooming zinnia. Most of the flowers here are gone as Fall starts to set in. As others have noted, I can't get reds to come out right. Shot with a K10, 50mm f4 Macro + 36mm tube, and a Sunpak ring flash. I use catch in focus and move the camera into the subject with the focus ring set at a predetermined point.
A stunning capture! Love how the reds came out. A very difficult shot and you pulled it off wonderfully! Superb focus!

Spot on, Matt. I have one of the 135mm Macro Zone Sears lenses and they are indeed very special. Their bokeh is very unusual.... very dreamy-like. Unfortunately, they are becoming hard to find at a decent price.

I wouldn't say that, Matt! A very nice shot.
