A good and clear photoshot. I can see no depth in this photo, but the yellow leaves looks like fire!!

Hello, Sue.

This is just perfection!

Wonderfully clear and pin-sharp yet with lovely subtelty of tone and colour. The detail is amazing.

Did you take this outdoors in available light or was it taken indoors in a still atmosphere and with artificial light? Whatever, it's amazing.

You might have seen the two or three pictures I posted recently of sunflowers taken outdoors at friends' house when I went outside for a puff of my pipe after dinner: they are not a patch on this one. I used flash and you did not and you have achieved a much more natural look.

Excellent, Sue!

Best Wishes,

John.

Hello Sue,

this is a great macro shot of a sunflower. The colours and details are of great sharpness.
I like the way you cropped the image as it exactly does what you intended - it gives a good balance between the darker and lighter parts of the flower.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards, Britta
