I am so looking forward to your series on this. Everything is excellent about this pic. clarity, sharpness, color, framing, composition, simply astonding.
For me, there is nothing you could do to make this a better picture. Definitely in the top five of all the photos I have of yours. An artistic accomplishment to be pround of. I am.
AS I keep telling you, do what you do so well my friend.

Great job Peaches! I didn't know that is what a sunflower looks like in the beginning! We had them when I was a kid, but that is too long ago to remember!

Thanks so very much Carol. I almost didn't think to take a photo of the bud, I went to get the field. Happen to look down and this big bud was staring right at me, the ONLY one I took.
Guess it was meant for me to do this series ehehehee
