This could be a painting. Beautiful color and contrast, makes me long for summer...I like the orange border that you gave this piece. Nice touch.
Perhaps it is a Zinnia variety?

Fico muito boa foto Claudio, essa flor realmente é muito linda!

Não sei foi por opção deixar a foto escura, mas se não, você errou na velocidade. A foto ficou muito escura, talvez uma velocidade um pouco mais baixa, talvez 1500 já estaria ótimo!

Abraços

Very nice work Caludio, the colours, quality and composition are fine. I'd think about cropping some from the bottom of the picture. Well done.

Hi Claudio.
This flower is a Cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus)
It is a very common annual variety in wildflower gardens, and is native to Mexico. Perhaps it also grows wild in Brazil.
The reduced background light is an interesting touch.
If youd shot from the other side you might have avoided the shadow on the center of the flower,but its still ok.

Superb colors and stunning details. I like the shadow inside the flower. Well done and well composed. TFS.

I really like the dark background here and the vivid colors. The composition seems very well balanced.
