Sunflower by andycoleborn

Sunflower

Hadn't taken a shot today so stopping off at the shops on the way home, I bought a small bunch of sunflowers and knowing how everyone (yep, including you Aaron L haha) loves flowers, thought that'll do for something to take..

Wasn't sure how to frame the flowers, tried a few different things without joy... Ended up taking this laying on the floor in the hallway, under my ironing board, flower hanging over the edge with the hallway light positioned directly behind... The things we do..!

No rioting to report tonight, but it has been heartening to see the mass movement of people coming out with brooms, bags etc and cleaning their own neighbourhoods.. Well done to them.. Just a shame there's an under class of scum in this country..

Hmmm... first person convicted today... He's a primary school teacher...!! What hope future generations..!!!
Great shot, Andy!

You really don't need to go to all that effort to take a flower shot!! lol Then again, maybe that's what i'm doing wrong! But i do try to get the ironing board out as little as possible! I like this!

love this shot Andy - (LOL @Cherrill!!) worth the effort - wish i'd know, I'd've bought a shirt or two round for you!! great focus!

Turned out well, like the interesting focus. I'm surprised the first person convicted is a teacher. That in itself is maybe even more upsetting than the riots in total. Shame.

@Cherrill haha I did try a van gogh type pic but just didn't work right... somehow ended up in this position... ps.. hate ironing as well...
@yeah agree.. turns out, was just a primary school teaching assistant so all OK then !!!!
