Emerging Sunflower

This sunflower was at the end of the patch of zinnias where the moth and butterfly pictures were taken. Two days later this sunflower was in full bloom. This is SOOC which is quite a feat for me. I really like how the background is black since it accentuates the sunflower. It is raining so much today so I picked this photo from 4 days ago.

Super close up. Love the anticipation of the sunflower beginning to burst open.

No room for a big flower like a sunflower, so I've never seen the beginning of a sunflower bloom. waiting in anticipation.

excellent close-up, I like the datail of the leaves and petals that open

Very nice photo. This is one of my favorite stages of a flower...when it is still tightly bond and about to burst forth!

Lovely shot, such greasy detail.
