Quite a beautiful close up B&W photograph of a sad looking Sunflower. Using the three speedlights I think helped you get the black ground. Natural tones in the scene. Good lighting, nice detail, nice soft bokeh, sharp focus, good DoF, and well balanced photo and nicely composed in the frame. Overall, a very Beautiful Photograph, well done Len!

    Many thanks Nature. I did indeed use the three speedlights to kill the bright ambient sunlight.

A beautiful shot that is very striking in this monochromatic presentation. The lighting is very good and the details are exquisite. Best of luck in the contest.

this could very well be the contest winner.It is original and beautiful despite its current natural state.Your chiaroscuro technique is spot on with excellent tonal balance throughout
