Red-Orange Gerbera Daisy

This spring seems to have generated better looking annuals and perennials at the local flower and garden shops. Even the chains like Lowe's and Home Depot have had some beautiful examples.
A couple of weeks back, I stopped in Lowe's on another errand. I went into the garden shop, and they had a very nice selection of a lot of different flowers. This red-orange gerbera daisy really caught my eye. There were some others of the same color, but this one seemed to have superior shape and bloom. I used a Nikon D810, an older 70-180mm D Micro. Settings were 1/400, f/11, ISO 400, and set @ 70mm.
I loaded the Raw image to Adobe Elements, and only had to use cropping. I used the sliders, but left every edit option as I found the original. I was concerned about the notches in the bloom ends, but my genius wife advised that the notches were natural.
