Wifey's sunflower

Last of the his and hers sunflower series.

My wife insisted I took a picture of hers in flower (it was a couple of weeks behind mine)

So here is view from the side' of Jane's sunflower shot against the blue sky.

No matter how I tried I could not avoide the shadows across some of the petals, but I suppose that's the price you pa for the nice sky.

SOOC, not even a crop !

Macro Zoom setting, shot from a few centimetres away.

[Michael Elliott]

that is an amazing shot and excellent pov. love the big yellow blooms.

[Mags]

Lovely shot. The leaves are so sharp and look wonderful against that blue sky.

Great angle..lovely colors and the way it reaches for the sky..excellent composure Phil!

[Judith Greenwood]

Wahey!! Oh it's very beautiful!

[peter/zipp]

hehe! great series... this is a really good shot - the angle and the light are sound - i guess the shadows should be avoided (perfect) but its pretty good to me.

Beautiful play of sun across the petals, and the cloud-streaked sky really sets off the loveliness of this flower.
