[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was a lone blossom among thousands in a farmer's field. I shot it using the fisheye. I love how the earth bends 'up' in the bottom right of the image. I'm wondering, though, if most people would prefer an alignment of the lens that allows the earth to curve 'naturally' in the corner - as if it were the curvature of the earth itself... hope that question makes sense, folks. This is my first post on the TL site (have a few on the TN site already).

That's a different POV. Shooting a Sunflower with a fisheye lens. I don't think I've seen that before. I think you could have improved your photo by using your flash fill. Too much backlight here. More attention is focused on background than foreground. The composition is very nice here however. Very good first post. Welcome to TrekLens.

Welcome to TL
I like the fisheye effect
nice back lighting
I would have cloned out the blue sun spots

That is a good question and I can honestly say that I really like it as is. It really adds to the photo in my opinion and draws me into the details of all of the sunflowers in rows. I like the back light and the flare that was created. Welcome to Trek Lens!

otra bonita perspectiva! me gusta como quedo el detalle con las curvas en as esquinas!
muy buena!

Bonjour Kelly,

Intéressant cliché, le tournesol apporte de la lumière dans tous les sens du terme, en haut les rayons du soleil donnent un bel effet à l'image!!!
Et ce fond de champs tout en courbe donne une touche insolite à cette image!!!
Beau travail
Amitiés
Odile
