Flowers are not my strong suit, but I saw these sunflowers along the road and thought they'd be a nice Day 1 subject.

Nice detail in the photo. I might have just removed the peatle at the bottom tht seems to be a bit deformed.

I ,too, think the top petals are a bit bright but I still think this is a lovely shot. Framed very well and good detail!

Yeah nice start with great tones, I agree with the top petals being slightly to bright and the shadow crossing over the bent petals and under the centre of the flower but you probably needed that angle to bring out the texture of the petals. Good job with it!

I agree with hajeka in that it appears a little light (the top petals and to the right a little). However, I really love that the petals are not perfect and the ones on the left are smaller and curved. Makes for a very interesting photo. Also, the darker petals have a very nice texture to them and create more depth than the lighter ones. Very nice.

Perhaps a little too light, but I don't need color here to see the yellow and brown.

Even though this is something of a 'bulls eye' shot, it has a great deal of interest because you captured all the nuances in the petals with your careful lighting.

I love sunflowers so I am glad that you stopped and took a photo, the contrast is really nice and the texture of the seeds at the centre of the flower looks fab!!
