[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My youngest son has grown some sunflowers, and I find them everywhere among green...everything is green - the flower stalk, the background...lovely in nature's own way, but the saturated yellow colors of this color has often made me think what it would look like to have a black backdrop and light coming from behind.
Now I have tried it out.
I held up a black cotton backdrop, added backflash and removed the stalk in CS3.
By the way, the flower is still standing...

Good work here, it looks like the flower is floating, very nice effect. the colours are sharp and clean.. fine composition.

Hello Jan,an interesting experiment with the back lighting;I think that it has worked very well providing us with an alternative view of a sunflower.
It could almost be the sun floating in space!A good idea imo to erase the stem.
Well done.
Tfs, regards Jean.
