Comment from Angelheart The First
I had to come and browse through your portfolio after the amazing review you gave me.This sunflower is so bright and beautiful.It just shines and in places resembles a painting.I also gave you this review because you only needed 1 more vote to have this become a Recognized photo.
Best of Luck in the contest~

Very nice image. The color is very good. The Clarity and focus is good. The lighting is good. Personally I would decrease the lighting just a touch in the right upper corner, but that's just me. Very nice image.

This is lovely! I love the wispy look to the flower! It makes it look almost like a painting! Very good color and focus! Great job and thanks for sharing!

Great photo, love the brightness of the yellow petals. The sun shining through the leaves gives it a look of being a "sun" flower. Well balanced, framed and focused. Best of Luck in the contest.

Very bright yellow with just a hint of orange. I think that little hint of orange brightens up the yellow. The back lighting is nice as well.
Nice job.

That's astounding! No modifications? When I first looked at this I thought.it was a painting. This is a wonderful shot. The way the light shines through the leaves and makes them glow, the subtle shadows on the seeds, the bright colors, and the great focus. Great shot, I only wish I had a 5 plus to give you.

Thank you. I've had the comment about the painting a number of times. I have it printed on canvas in my home. Thank you again for your appreciation.
