Well, I guess I will post my sunflower image too from my recent visit to a sunflower field.
Canon 60D. 90mm macro lens. F/3.2 for 1/5000 sec. ISO 1000. Tripod mounted, natural lighting.

You disappeared in mid comment?? Tastefully done and well composed. I like the framing by the OOF sunflowers.

Sorry Phil! Was trying to tone down the yellows a bit. They sure can be bright in these flowers. . .

Carolyn, I've seen many sunflower photos, but this one is one of my favorite. I find your composition very intriguing. The bud on the right side is really nice and the DOF really wonderful. Very nice.

I'm glad you did, what a beauty! I really like the selective focus on the lone bloom with everything else blurred. Just gorgeous, Carolyn!

Really well composed for the subject and beautiful bg, Carolyn. Excellent job with DOF managment. Only question: iso 1000 and 1/5000?

Scott, re high ISO and shutter speed. . .it was quite windy, as it often seems to be when I visit these sunflower fields.
