A welcome change from most sunflower pics. I personally don't like some of the touches, especially HDR, but they are done excellently. I really like the center with its sharp detail. Cheers, James.

So beautiful, bright and cheery here. Love the contrast of the pretty sky and sunflower. Your focus is on spot and the placement is perfect, love the light pastelness of the colors too. great job.

A sunny day look as this pretty flower is glowing, focused and framed with a nice background. Very well done to warm up a cold day.

Comment from avmurray
It is a lovely sunflower you have pictured here, and the lovely sky is a perfect background for the flower to stand out in a very lovely way. For the most your editing has worked well, apart from the burst. I think this has burnt out the light yellows in the petals and with loss of definition and details.

Tour photo is still all over nice and sharp showing really clear and well defined details in the middle part of the flower, and perhaps the exposure was fine as well before you added the burst. The halo around the flower is a bit distracting.

Personally I think the composition would have been better had you cropped the left side a bit, because the flower is a bit too centered. Still an all together lovely and well taken flower shot, and with a good DOF.
