This is my first scan. Hope you like it. It is a "volunteer" from my bird-feeder.

Very nice Lucy! I will have those growing all over under my feeders as well, but not until we move further into the summer.. lovely lighting here with the dark background!

Excellent vibrant yellow with very good contrast against black BG. I like this centered composition. The perfect details are very good visible in larger photo. Nicely done Lucy.

Lucy - Nice to see Sunflowers so early in the season specially for us here up North. Barbara Sammons gave me some good education how scanning works for photographing flowers - I better understand the challenges now.

I like the vibrant yellows and radiating petals which show the sunflower just like how sun is depicted pictorially. I understand its tough to manage, but if the two or three folded petals were flat it would have looked even super for me personally.

First scan? Really? Must be beginner's luck.

I rarely disagree with Ram, but I like the folded petals. Beautiful image overall, and an outstanding first scan. Looking forward to more.
