Your close-up shot is impressive. This flower is quite beautiful. Your photo has good depth and is perfect focused, exposed and treated with mixed media. I enjoy the sharpness of detail and textures and the realism of color. The lighting is superb. The dark background emphasizes the flower remarkably. The flower has an excellent placement within the frame. The photo is well composed. The composition is balanced.

This is such an outstanding photograph of a sunflower. Really beautiful you can see every detail of this flower it's absolutely stunning. The colors of this gorgeous sunflower are beautiful as well and I love that you have a very dark background because it really makes the flowers stand out so much more. Excellent photography my friend thank you so much for sharing it's really beautiful

Hard not to give six stars ratings. Absolutely gorgeous sunflower photograph with so well done mixed media enhancement.
The angle you took the photograph is so creative. The details, colors are just perfect.
Excellent composition.
The elephant presentation is splendid!

This is a beautiful subject and so skillfully done. Would also make a wonderful painting. Really like the reds in the ring around the middle of sunflower. Dark background really enhances. The leaves and meshing, especially of one is really done so well.

An incredibly lovely shot of this sunflower. The colors are soft and natural and this flowers pose is unusual - attractive to be sure! Your mixed media changes have been made in a positive manner that is pleasing. Well done and best wishes for the contest!
