  You done it...taken a subject that has been photographed to death and breathed new life into it.
WOW!!! Way to go.
The image just grabed me and kept me wanting to come back. The crop angle was as creative as the use of the abstract.

  Michelle :

What a perfect subject for an image ! Since I was a little kid, my favorite thing is none other than a sunflower. I was always amazed with them and their color schemes.

Congratulations Michelle, you are a true photographer and Artist !!!
