What a vibrantly colorful 'Sunflower Pic' this fine looking photo is,Lori!
The image certainly does 'stand out' very nicely,my friend!

I love sunflowers, they just are so bright and special - your image transmits the splendor of this bloom in perfection - your shot is clear and sharp, good in contrast and lighting
Issues: the yellow on the petals is over exposed - I got this issue many times loll, the moment the inner structure of the petals disappear we get to the border f being over exposed - second issue - the negative space of the sky is too huge in relation to the flower fields - I tried with my cell phone covering the sky cropping it just at the lower border of the cloud - the image becomes a flower portrait well balanced between field and sky letting the bloom be single point of attraction - your position is excellent letting the one bloom perfectly stand out against tall the other - the queen , thanks for sharing

A great shot with fantastic colors. I like the combination of the blue sky and the yellow sunflowers. The field of flowers in the background is very good and the fact that it appears to be below the featured flower is outstanding.

Comment from liseworks


Yes I agree. What a bright photo. Did you know that the sunflower follows the sun as it goes across the sky. We do not really notice it because we dont usually sit there and watch them. Love this photo, nice background of the rest of them and the blue sky. It is like a king being admired by his subjects. Our total focus is on this sunflower because you filled up the photo with its presence but did not overpower the total coverage.
