For this image, the homegrown sunflower was cut and put in a sturdy vase, and a dark cloth was placed behind the vase. Natural lighting was used.

I need a lot of catching up and will respond to those who sent e-mails and left comments/critiques.

I wish everyone hope, love, and joy during this holiday season.

WOW Danilo! This just GLOWS! Excellent backlighting here, love the black BG because it accentuates the flower alot! Super clarity!

Bom dia Danilo,
Stunning backlight of opening flower. Excellent transition from green to black at BG.
It's a great post.
Saude e Paz,

Hi Danilo, this really jumps out from the thumbnails. Fantastic sharpness; the sunflower really stands out against the black background. Great job.

Hi Danilo
A good idea to put a black cloth behind as it enhances its beauty and vivid colors.
Best wishes to you and your family too

Nice one Danilo, lots of sharp detail, I like the angle of view, a far better perspective than full on.

The colours look very natural, all in all a great Macro shot.

hi Danilo

Well, hang on, at least you have a laptop or internet connection to post a TL photo! Still have good ways to pass the time. No doubt the home factor is drawing your anxiety there and posting a sunflower to bring cheerful mood :)

I cannot imagine if stranded in Borneo jungle and without food or help and there is not way your mind can drift onto TL :) But it may be a good way to spend Xmas in the jungle, and I did that last year with the camera.


Happy year end holiday and season's greetings.

tfs, bill

Welcome Danilo,
sunflower petals look like yellow flames. A bit like a candles on Christmas tree. Thank you for your Christmas wishes and mutually wish you Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 2009.
Slawek

Olá, Danilo!

This is really stunning, my friend! A gorgeous yellow flower
against a dark BG... indeed a great and beautiful contrast!
Great job, Danilo! TFS and Merry Christmas to you and your
family, my dear friend!!
