Thrilled to have another normal size sunflower and a color other than

yellow, I tried imaging it. The light was not great and finding a

pleasing POV was a challenge. It took a bit of editing with photoshop

and picasa to arrive at this image that reminded me of a famous

cartoon character of old. Comments and critique welcome.

Hi Wayne,

  Beautiful capture with wonderful colors, lighting & details.  Reminds me of a painting.  Take care, Patsy

Lights and shades are splendid Wayne and the same for the transparencies. This is the kind of floral photos that I like most.

Good Morning Wayne, This is outstanding IMHO. The backlight and colors are great, I especially like the nice bokeh above and below the subject. A very beautiful image.

BR,

Thanks, Patsy, Giuseppe and Holger.  Your comments are much appreciated.

Great capture, well seen.  The bokeh and shallow DOF are just perfect.  The way you captured the light coming through the petals creates a lovely soft drama.

Thanks, Lynne.  Your visit and discerning eye are always appreciated.

Wayne,  I like this one very much because the way you've handled light into this simple sunflower.  You saw the potential and you composed it like an artist should do. You brought the best out of it... now an exquisite beauty! and you framed it as required.  Chapeau!

Bachir,

Many thanks.  Your kind comments are encouraging.
