Sunflower in the Style of Fan Ho

I knew I would not be able to visit a city to capture a photo in the impressive style of Fan Ho so it came down to attempting to copy his amazing use of light. I was struck by the strong light on this sunflower and thought it passed for the Pocono version of his style (sort of but not quite!).

@altadc Thank you Alta and thank you so much for the fav!
@yaorenliu Thank you Yao! I really wanted to do something more like his work, but this will have to do because I'm in the midst of a terribly busy week and I've already fallen behind in the One Night Stand Challenge. I did enjoy looking at his pictures on your links though. He is an amazing photographer.
@cruiser Thank you Chris and thanks for the fav!!

I love this a lot (posted a B&W sunflower myself today). I really do need to look up Fan Ho's work now.

[Vesna]

Well done!

Thank you Phoebe! His subject matter is very different but the lighting just as dramatic. You will like his work.
Thank you Vesna!
