Thanks for looking!

Nice presentation! Regards! CL

Linda, I really love the way you approached this composition. Very effective, having the sunflower hanging out of the frame...Great colors, DOF....lighting esp. good. Beautiful!My 'tabs' won't pull down, so will have to rate here......6/6

woo

It is nice to know that I am not the only one who likes to photograph flowers that are past their prime. I find them to be much more interesting when they are dying than when they are young and growing. I like the "outside the frame" effect that you have provided and I'm pleased that you did not go overboard with doing it. Very nice work on a subject I identify with.

Christoph, thank you for commenting.

 

Gail, thank you, I appreciate you letting me know your thoughts.

 

Fei, thanks for stopping by.

 

Shawn, I love them in all stages, they just seem to have more personality when they are having their final fling. I think flowers and people become more interesting with age. Sunflowers especially have such a sweet sadness about them when they are in decline. I look forward to seeing your Flower Show photos.

 

Thanks to all of you! All the best.

This is a stunner! To be sure it's now one of my "Favorites".

I love this, sort of a sad statement. Even your digital frame contributes to the overall theme, I love how the flower is drooping out of the picture. Clever.

Beautiful shot, lovely detail and color.

Michael, thank you, I am honored! I don't think I have been in anyone's favorites before.

 

Thanks Clayton, I was aiming for a sort of sweet, nostalgic, goodbye to summer saddness.

 

Jerry, thank you for stopping by.

Sonia, thank you. I't nice to hear from you.

 

Raj, thank you, I'm glad you like it.

 

Jim, I happy to hear that you like it.

 

Thank you all for you kind words. It's very much appreciated. All the best.

Wonderful presentation, Linda. Thanks a lot for your visit.

Beautifully done, Linda. Congrats.

It is very difficult to make a picture of sunflowers, they always have some mistakes and partly look faded! Good choice to choose then a really faded one, ha! Looks great really! Cheers Linda!

Bittersweet, love it and your treatment....sad and moving composition....creatively done!! :)

wow! This is really a wonderful piece.

Thank you! I am glad to hear that you like it.

Thanks for commenting, good to hear from you.

I really like this Linda; I love the faded and softer colors of the aging flower. I especially like the effect you have given it hanging out of the frame; it's as if it is reaching out for help so it can remain within the living world. I find it sad. Very well done. :)

Thank you! It's good to hear from you. Best wishes, Linda

 

 

Linda, I love how you presented this flower with the petals out of the frame. It adds drama and interest. I love the sense that this is a dying flower, yet it is still elegant and beautiful.
