I'm so happy with my giant marigolds this year. They been adorning my back deck all summer with their continuous beauty, so I thought I'd post this more or less unusual view that I was fortunate enough to capture the other day :)

Hey PJ,
Just had this in VB; high marks, (~8 8~)
Like it a lot, the yellow colors just jump around my face, good to have the darker green-black tints to breath a bit, (~8
Nicely done

Thanks for sharing
Warm regards

You have done it yet again. Or outdone done yourself as it were.
The composition is superb with the focus on the one full Marigold.
The darkened background provides the all the atmosphere this bloom needs to truly shine.
Excellent!

Well done Lil PJ. The simplicity really makes it for me. The presentation just makes me want to reach in there and take a big ole whiff. Excellent job.

They are sure nice to have on the deck, and also on the desktop! I like the composition and the border sets it off really nice (I have to try something like it someday).

Boy, I'm way behind with the commenting. I always like the look of yellow and black. Very striking marigold, PJ. Those larger varieties do put on a great show as does this one.
