 Well... I was tickled with this shot. It is not the typical soft touch I go for, but I really liked the texture and action of this flower. The side view next to the head on one felt right. The flower in the upper left was cropped a bit so as not to compete with the subject. Thanks for comments and thoughts.

Wow. Not your typical flower shot. Not sure what it is about it. Color is super. Putting the fine pattern of the center of the flower in the 3rd probably is a part of what makes it a successful composition. I like having the side view in the composition too. Just MHO. Thanks for some
inspiration.

I really like the composition here and it's super sharp. Even with your DOF the other flowers add to the picture instead of distract.

the composition of these sunflowers and good use of light, pattern and color separate this image from many other sunflower photos...this is good.
