This was from some time ago, and I keep going back to it, so here it is.
F5.6 @ 1/60sec, 80MM, tripod
Let me know what you think.

Great grouping of three, this works well Robert. I like the contrasting light blue BG, details, and framing as well.
Only nit's the loss of some detail at the flowers large center, but overall a delightful image

I agree with the comments posted so far. Both Howard and Wayne grabbed my thoughts!
Question: is this HDR? If so, I wonder if this image needs it... Looks a little "over-cooked" or "edgy" or something. The dark centers would benefit from a selective application of layer adjustment. The comp is great-- a perfect threesome in a nice, tight bunch. Reminds me of best friends enjoying each other's delightful company.

Bob - The blue sky really sets off the Sunflower so nicely.
I do see some smudge marks in the sky in the lower left right upto the center. Something you might want to revisit later. I also wish the stem at the base was seen instead of the leaf blocking - but its not a deal breaker and not something you could have avoided, I guess.

Bob:
Nothing beats sunflowers with blue sky for grabbing ones attention. Would echo Howard's suggestion of bring so light to the dark centers.

Love the colors, Bob. They really pop against the blue sky BG. Lovely. I, too, would like to see more detail in the dark sunflower centers. I don't see any difference in this respect in the repost.
