I think that, next to your sweet eyes,
And pleasant books, and starry skies,
I love the world of flowers;
Less for their beauty of a day,
Than for the tender things they say,
And for a creed I've held alway,
That they are sentient powers.

Comment from Kathy Banich
Phenomenal detail is evident in this beautiful presentation of a sunflower. Bravo!
I admit - I do enjoy the view from the back that allows a different perspective - and you have framed it wonderfully. I like the fact you allowed the leaf to exit the frame.
Camera settings are all skillfully dialed in; producing a wonderful image suitable for so many mediums (framed in a house, printed on cards, hung in a gallery, etc.).
Well done.

HI LeeAnn, Love the backlighting on this sunflower. Those petals are absolutely bursting with light! I also love the back of the sunflower. The green on the back of the flower looks like a crown! This image literally jumps off the page! Truly beautiful and a lovely angle to shoot from. Great entry for the contest and a joy to view! Good Luck! :o) Nancy

Comment from Ray Gordon
LeeAnn, this is a beautiful capture of a sunflower blossom. You have shown the bottom of the the flower due to an novel camera angle and it is perfect for the contest. Well focused and perfectly positioned. I love it. Simply beautiful. The best of luck in the contest. Ray

Wow! An amazing shot of the flower taken from behind the flower. It looks as though the petals are on fire. Overall, an eye- catching presentation. Good luck.

Comment from Charlotte Morse
Wow Lee Ann, this one's an absolute stunner! The detail is extraordinary with every tiny hair showing and highlighted by the sun.
Focus, dof, and colour are all spot on perfect as is the viewpoint and composition. This has to be a winner!

think this is a nice shot of this suflower and taking it from behind means you put some thought into this as well as picking up the sunrays and of course the greenery is also a strong point,well taken photo...Brian

Very creative to photograph this beautiful sunflower from the back, I love the way the petals glow in the sunlight .
Spot on focus , this image is sharp and clear and your use of the light is perfect! You have brought out such great detail in every visible part of the sunflower. The black background emphasizes the flower .
Very well composed and presented!

Comment from soulfeeder
love this sunflower uniquely presented facing the dark background instead of the sun. I like how its colors illuminates against the black frame. Artistic presentation in vertical frame, great focus, angle and lighting. Wish you the best in this contest.
