Days Gone By

Description

1/100s at f/7.1 ISO 100 100mm macro lens

It just seems as if summer came and went so quickly. I had one lonely sunflower that seemed to survive our summer of little sun and too much rain. Black paper behind as BG to hide the house and garden clutter! Sharpened and then softened in topaz.

Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/100 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 100.00 mm, Model: DSLR-A700

Laurie- yep, they sure do go by quickly. I love your use of the black paper for the background as it really kicked up the colors and the beautiful features of this die hard flower who wants to stay as beautiful as long as it can. The colors are so radiant and vivid. Love the leaves being left in to fill the page. The center of the sunflower is gorgeous with percise and sharp detail. Excellent lighting and clarity.
Beautiful work my friend.
Have a wonderful day and do take care. #7908925
