Terrific details brought out nicely by the soft lighting goes well with the square frame.

Neat. I can see silhouettes of the sepals through the petals due to the back-lighting. I don't know whether you could accentuate this idea any more, but file it away. It's a good one.

Charlie,

Nice job. The center of your sunflower looks like a beautiful jewel.

Carol
