 Day 2 of 30 Flowers

I noticed these when I was at the animal shelter this morning in between taking pictures of dogs. I thought nothing ate marigolds but this is clearly half a flower, so someone must like them.

PP - rotated, cropped, increased saturation and contrast, cloned out a bug wing on the primary flower, added border, resized, sharpened

Beautiful color and nice DOF! The shades of orange look so pretty against the greenish background.

Pretty Orange colors. Could it have been a kid "chopping" with a stick or someting instead of something eating it? That's a little boy thing to do as I've caught my son in the act before.

This is very good. I love the way the orange is complemented by the background and the soft focus makes it kind of like a dream.

You've caught the color perfectly! I adore marigold...have tons of them around, and I have found yucky little earwigs munching away on a couple of them...hunger little buggers.

Marigolds have such a deep wonderful color as you have gotten here. The contrast with the green is lovely as is the flower in the background.

the colors are great. Someone said marigolds and now I can smell them. You captured them really nicely, even at half eaten

Nice eye-catching orange. Marigolds are so pretty, even half-eaten.

Excellent color! The bug wing probably belonged to the bug who ate the flower, lol! Nice DOF.
