Beautiful capture of the sunny Yellow Sunflower. I really like the close crop showing off the center.
The textures and pattern are beautiful.
Fine focus, great Details and Controlled Exposure.
Nice work Cleo ;)

This is a lovely tribute to the first day of summer - perfect flower for it and your exposure is wonderful. The colors are bright and natural. I like how well the details of the center stand out and how well the tiny hairs on the stems and under side of the leaves can be seen.

Excellent capture of this absolutely beautiful, colorful sunflower. Wow love it with everything sharp and full of detail. Enjoy how you caught spiral seed pods and large petals. Thank You for sharing and happy summer to you too.

A beautiful capture - As a sun flower fan I love this one as it still shows the growing phase and the wonderful soft sky in the corner which is a perfect angle and composition, excellent focus, perfect sharpness, natural color contrast
Irregular in growth but individual and special, thanks for sharing, please read my message will be off xoxo

I wish you a wonderful summer as well Cleo. To pick a Sunflower for your good wishes is perfect, because when you see this big yellow flower you know it is summer. I think you have pictured it so well, and it is standing out so well from the background.

Your focus is sharp showing such clear and well defined details both in the petals and the center of the flowers. It is nothing wrong with the exposure either.

I also think the square format you have cropped the photo into works well, and the flower is well placed within the frame. A truly lovely and well taken photo, and with a very good DOF.

gorgeous sunflower presented beautifully here, filling the frame with its gorgeous petals..bursting with sunshine and with a little hint of sky in the background cleverly structured to give it the perception of being the sun itself...nice work

A very good take on a photographic staple - the sun flower.

Great golden hour lighting brings out all the detail an subtleties of this blossom.

Very well framed and focused.

Color, contrast and DOF compliments this take so well.

Very good flower wish for a good summer - thanks ... B-)) Bob

Wow! This is one large sunflower and it is a lovely way to celebrate Summer. Your focus is spot on, with beautiful capture of natural light and well defined details on the petals and stamens.
I am sure the birds are very excited about how large a sunflower and the wonderful source of seed for them. Indeed beautiful photography and a good depth of field. Nice work and thanks for sharing!

A wonderful close up of this beautiful sunflower in full bloom, captured with excellent clarity and DOF, and great lighting to create a brilliant contrast between the vivid and lively orange and yellows of the petals and florets in the centre, and the greenery of the flower surrounding it. Well positioned and composed piece, and a lovely summery shot - with the title to match! lovely work.
