[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
They say that sunflowers always face the sun! I don't know if it's true or not!
These twin sunflowers were definitely giving their back to a wonderful sun and seeing that glorious back lighting I clicked my camera several times!
In my PP work I added some contrast and darkened slightly. I cropped the original to stress on the lighted petals.

Well yes, it is true Francis. If you ever see a field of sunflowers, the large flower head all face the sun, and follow it around :)
Beautiful shot! Love your composition, the back-lighting of course, and long shallow crop. Colors are great too.
Have a nice weekend.

Hi, Francis. Nice backlit sunflower photos with good composition, colors and presentation. Cheers.

Bonjour Francis Xavier

Nice composition. I like the position of the flowers, diagonaly opposed in the corners, plus the fact it is a wide panoramic format. Nice Backlightig revealing translucidity of the petals, with good shadow detail. Nice work and TFS.

Good Morning!
I really do like the way you cropped your pic. I seem to never get it right! The frame goes very well with the pic. It has a nice bg and the colors are nice and soft. :)
