Sunflower

Does not need any introduction I guess.

ND300s, AFD200mm F/4 Micronikkor, F/16, 1/60 Sec, In-Built Flash, ISO200 and Tripod. When you get that exposure right, all the subtle details on the petals begin to present themselves.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Vinca Twins and do let me know what you think of this one.

Great sunflower photo, Ram. I really like your comp on this and the wonderful clarity you have over the whole picture. Interesting details in the center.

Ram:
What struck me when I looked at this is the details in the petals. Very fine work indeed.

Excellent details and a classic comp Ram. The comp is a classic for a reason - it works.

Excellent exposure job (yellow is a tough colour to manage, and there's a lot here) and perfect composition on this one- My congrats, Fabio

Hi Ram

Superb detail everywhere

Like gary, i'm especially impressed with details on the petals. You captured the geometric symmetry of this sunflower very well

great control of exposure and detail, Ram. The center almost seems to spin.
