On the sunflower ..

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted August 4, 201272 views5 comments

This is not a macro , more of a close up that I shot today afternoon walking through the natural area near our house that I visit quite often. Liked the yellow patterns on the yellow of sunflower :)
Would like to know your thoughts - thanks for your comments and critique.

Looks like fine detail, although hard to tell with only a small image.
Nice wasp and flower colours with a complimentary BG.
If you'd care to share your settings, we could make more useful suggestions..

The color coordination between the wasp and the sunflower is really nice as are the detail in the curving stem and sepals.
