Russell, Something really weird is going on in this image. You appear to have sharpness on the outer edge of the flower center on the left side and there appears to be another plane of sharpness in the petals on the right side. I don't know if this was a function of your lighting or some weird lens anomaly.
I do like your colors and the lighting appears to be even.
Regards,
Carol

Very interesting Russell. I've never seen anything like this before and I suspect I've shot hundreds of sunflowers.

Interesting image Russell. Neat how the "stamens" are heart shaped. I might prefer a bit more brightness, but certainly works as is also.

Russ: My initial reaction was that I would like this about 1/2 stop or so more exposed. I do like the comp and the DOF. Nicely done.>=)>
