Nice, John. I get a little dizzy focusing on the central whirl of this flower. Nicely composed and exposed.

The spirals show up great in this one. An excellent portrait, and I bet it would be a fine large print. Well done.

The details in the flower's center are outstanding as is the lighting and separation from the background. Well done.

Beautiful, and the center is quite dizzying :). Gotta love sunflowers.
