Sheryll is right it does look like a carnival ride. And it is an amazingly cool looking flower. Glad you included it for us.

Wow - I've never seen a zinnia with this kind of variegated colors. I wonder if it's created with viruses, like they do tulips?

I tend to have to reduce the blue channel in curves with many of my photos because I think out of the camera, they have a green cast. This also happens when I increase saturation and adjust levels.

I really love this shot. The colors are very attractive together and the hairy texture keeps you looking at it.
