Sunflower

Hi Pierre,

  Beautiful capture with wonderful colors & perfect sky.  Take care, Patsy

I suspected this to be a montage at once. But i could not be sure - I bet you could get a shot like this with flash on a sunny day. That aside you have a quite powerful sunflower image here.

What! no kidneys, telephones or chess boards!

It looks convincingly natural, which of course means it isn't because its yours : - )

A very pleasing deception all the same!

Best Regards

Alf

Thank you, Patsy, you are always so positive in your critiques!

PDE

Welcome Svend and thank you for your visit and critique! I shall understand it as a confirmation to my, as Alf below describes as a successful deception!

PDE

Alf, I understand this critique of yours as a critique of my overall opus to be uniformed and limited to just a couple of elements, which to tell you the truth I consider right! I have no enough PSD files and I am too lazy to do some more of them!

I didn't want to deceive, only to please the viewers eyes here!

Thank you very much for your critiques, they are most original and imaginable!

This is such a lovely, cheerful image Pierre!!! I'm smiling just looking at it!!! It is almost like the Sunflower is saying a 'cheery-hello' to everyone. You did an excellent job of this composition and it truly is a welcome sight!! We had Tornado warnings last night and it was terrible weather. This is like waking up to a whole new world!!!! Thank you for sharing this with us!!!

Sincere regards, Gail

Thank you, Gail! I only once or twice took photos of sunflowers, they are a very difficult subject and this one time I succeeded to take it right! I did also a sunflower picture from the rear, which was also very well accepted by the viewers! I'm happy to have for a moment turned your attention from a serious threat!

Well taken and processed, Pierre. It is a fine example of summer photography.

cheers, Hans

Welcome and thank you, Hans!

A very nice composite! Well done!!

It is not just a sunflower, it is a spectacular sunflower superbly captured by you. Well done.

extraordinary composition i love it congrats gerolamo

Thank you, Pat! You wouldn't know it was a composite if I didn't tell, would you Pat?!

PDE

Tony,this was the only one in the whole field which was in a mood for posing! And it was small one, very small! Thank you!

PDE

Thank you, Gerolamo!

PDE

Stunningly beautiful, Pierre. Loved the view point, composition and colors. Excellent piece of art.

Best regards, Ajay.

Welcome, Ajay! Very nice comment which I love to hear! Thank you, my friend!

PDE

A beautiful shot Pierre, it looks totally alive, bravo ..

Yes, it's time for me to upload something alive, ha! Thanks, John!

PDE

Very nice, striking too. It's tough to make an interesting image of a sunflower, something different, but you did.

Chuck, as I said above in response to Gail's comment, they are a very difficult subject and this time I succeeded to take it right! Technically and aesthetically! It's my only successful photo of a sunflower!

Thank you for your supportive comment!

Fotografijata e prva liga. Seuste go koristis V3? Perfektna masina. Jas imav V1, isto taka dobar... Pozdrav 

Fala, imenjak! I jas go smetam za mnogu zgoden, ama ima i nedostatoci, na primer koga ce go stavis na 200 ISO vece pokazuva znaci, da ne zboruvame za 800 (pa i 400), tie sliki se prakticno neupotreblivi!
