Like this enormously, Rick ! Great perspective, lovely tonality and beautifully framed. The flowers have such a strong presence in this image.

Rick - Too many Sunflowers there !. Love how the lines recede along with diminishing focus. Great take !.

Wow, that's a lot of sunflowers. I like the high perspective giving the nice view of the impressive display, Rick. The strong side/back lighting was handled well although I wonder whether a polarizer may have helped with the glare on the leaves.

I like your perspective here with the converging lines. The backlighting makes the petals come alive - might be worth pulling a smidge of detail out of the shadows but that's just a matter of preference.

This almost has an abstract feeling to it. Nice perspective.

A great illustration of the density of these flowers. I like your choice of dof, and pof. Well done.
