    Yeah!!! I like light shining through petals and leaves. And I also have some photos I've shot from behind the flower and some people have said "why did you take the picture from the back?"...Another reason I am thankful I found this site....I really like the way the sepals came out (is that right? the bud leaves?) Plus, my father used to plant sunflowers...Beautiful photo...

    Thanks, Steve. I thought I could offer something a bit out of the ordinary to be different.

    Jiro, I wsh I had your talent.... Both in Photography and PP.

    I haven't seen any sunflowers yet in my part of Texas - but then again, it's so hot and dry that even the weeds in my yard are dying-

    One thing that I can honestly tell you, Kris is that this kind of talent can be learned and developed. I am very glad that I can share whatever I have with you all here at CiC as much as I can and until I can.

    It does tell a pleasant story of a summery evening! The back of the sunflower being almost, basically, silhouetted like that makes it almost look like it is a little sun looking back - very lovely!

    Many Thanks, Sahil. I was actually surprised by the bokeh at this setting on this lens. I might explore this kind of shots further.
