Sunflower macro

[Joe Colozzo]

I took this last night in my garden . I'm so glad I did because the tropical storm hit us today and destroyed them all. It was the first time planting them and they were just starting to come into their own. I'm glad I did and will again next year!

Great imaging here.

Gorgeous light and color on this one. Glad you shot it before it was destroyed.

Beautiful image. Definitely prefer this over the b&w one.

Great job with this, Joe! How did you light these?

 

[JimFox]

Awe... so this is the color version! It is really nice Joe, but I think artistically I still prefer the B&W.

I like this a lot, Joe. Haven't seen the b&w yet.

Awesome Marco shot Joe!

Very nice, Joe. Too bad you lost them. I'll bet you would have had all kinds of neat images when they were in full bloom.

Thank you all very much . Funny I like both versions the same for different reasons, but it is always interesting how others feel! I love how photography is like art and is very subjective.

Hi kurt, I use a 430exIII with a home made diffuser. It's a pringles can cut out and I use the cap to soften the light.
