Sunflowers

This was taken many years ago with my F4

I have had a friend scan my slides and now I am working with them to see what I can come up with...

let me know what you think of this......

please be brutally honest.....

Thanks
Darren

A very cool shot - where was this taken? Only thing that bugs me to start is the ghosting effect that I see on the faces of some flowers and along the top of the trees....almost an Orten effect on the image.

Nice pano Darren. Did you notice any foggy look in the scan? I've since found that if I drop the gamma a notch the scans look cleaner. Let me know and I'll re-scan your favorites!

Darren, this is okay but not altogether flattering for the sunflowers. They are in all stages of blooming, the background is distracting, and the sky looks pretty.... well, uh, UNsunflowery. May I suggest trying a different angle of view and/or going in closer to isolate flowers in a more distinct pattern, stage of bloom or anything that puts the attention fully on them as the subject.
Maybe I get the aha moment here, from our comments on each other's posts? Closer for flowers (usually) and wider angle for landscapes (usually)?
