 got circles!
Title states it, but I still like it.
I had to stand on one of my benches to take this shot of my neighbors sunflowers. I noticed the sun backlighting it while on my deck, so I got closer to it by standing on a bench close to the fence and had to stand on my tippy toes and lean so that my spruce was not in the shot.
Later, Ed (neighbor) told me to just go into the yard to get a shot.
We then decided to grow a row of these on each side next year.

Love the bokeh. I'd remove the yellow of the frame as it pulls the eye away and kind of distracts.

I like this too. I like the strong contrast / bold colors. The sunflower seems to have a personality, with hair flowing in the wind. Overall, just a little too busy in my opinion (mainly the white oof 'bar' in the background and the other two sunflowers), detracting from the attention that the sunflower deserves. It's a shame the left leaf is 'cut'. The framing is unusual, maybe the gold even bolder, may have also 'popped' the sunflower even more.
