One Sunflower, Hold the Sun
My internet is being rather flaky this morning, so I hope I can complete this task. Bethany has some sunflowers growing in the front yard. When I first approached it I was immediately struck by the interesting patterns at the back of the flower. In fact, it took me about twenty minutes before I ever brought my camera around to the front side of this flower.
This is a red sunflower, so the strange coloured petals are naturally that colour. This photo was taken at the end of a somewhat cloudy day. The light was already quite dim. I didn't bother with a tripod because it was pretty windy. I'm looking forward to exploring this plant more this week when there is a bit more light.

Very lovely image. I agree about the beauty of the other side of the flower. Very beautiful color for a sunflower. I don't think I've seen one this color before.
Really nice image, Timmy. Great color and a very nice perspective. I guess it's the time for sunflowers, no? :-)
Well concidering the cloudyness and the wind, its a fantastic shot...well its a great shot anyway...great detail, lovely colours...wish i took....!!!! what more to say..well done man..

Very nicely captured and a unique perspective. DOF is very appealing as well Tim...great job!
Funky connection? Now, why does that sound familiar...oh, cos that's the subject of my rant today :-) (And thanks for checking on me!)
Excellent photo. You certainly do have a way of interpreting things in a new way. Not a flower person, but this is outstanding; love the vibrance, the sharpness, and how you made the over-photographed sunflower your own. I totally dig.
Great shot!
Beautifully done! I love these fiery red sunflowers, and this was an excellent perspective.
very intimate angle and beautiful palette... i love this shot.

The sharpness of the flower details is fantastic and you did a great job on the DoF. Very nice work.
I love the way you have taken this shot and the sharpness is just spot on, as if it's going to comemout of thhe screen and prick me LOL I also love the colours, they all work in unison with each other. Really well framed, shot. The DOF as well rocks. Whats not to like about this shot?
