 I knew immediately what I was going to shoot for this challenge as my garden is full of new sunflower buds at the moment. I\'m quite pleased with the result and hope voters like it too.

Shot in the early morning using aperture priority mode.

Shot in RAW, converted using Olympus Master.
PP in PS including crop, levels, curves, minor selective colour adjustment to boost red points and greens. Also very minor shadow/highlight adjustment.

I like the depth of field, but wish the background had been a more interesting colour.
