Sunflower, side view

Another sunflower photo. :smile: This side view shows the green backing of a sunflower which I think is also quite beautiful.

Canon Rebel T1i. 180mm macro lens. F/3.5 for 1/1250. ISO 100. Tripod mounted, natural lighting.

Carolyn - Very nice POV for the sun flower from the side- one that shows the greens and fine hairs on the sepals. The slight side lighting also helps show that. The petal details and the yellow wash in the background are also interesting.

Beautiful. Love the details of the sepals, the radiating lines of the petals and the bg.

Love the hairy green backing and especially the little curl in the lower right corner. Gorgeous colors.
