Oh how nice to have these in a public garden. One neighbor had some but they were destroyed by the storm the other day. These are so pretty. Love the detail you caught in the bud stage right down to those tiny hairs. Your lighting is wonderful to bring out all its beauty.
Lovely backlight. You will probably know this, but I recently saw, in a photograph of someone else, the it is virtually impossible to shoot a sunrise or sunset of sunflowers face-on and with the sun in the background, because they always turn their faces towards the sun...
