Sunflower Fields + Update

[Alisa]

For a couple of years now I have been wanting to capture some sunflower fields. One day on my daily commute to work I drove by one only 15 minutes from home!

CC welcome!

Thank you Jim for the recommendation! So glad I took several... exposures of this field!


CC for the edit is welcome.

This is looking pretty nice Alisa. I will check it out closer in a little bit.

This is amazing, I love the in your face look of that central sunflower

Good one Alisa - I like the level of detail in your shot down to the pollen on the leaf below the flower.

Thank you all!

Alisa, really captures the essence of summer.
Next time throw in a six foot ladder and go to work early

Hey Alisa,

Sorry for the delay, I have been super busy the last few days with getting back home from Colorado.

I do really like how you got right in the face of the sunflower, that's really sweet. The only thing I would suggest is to go back and work on the sky a bit more. It's more noticeable the smaller it is, but the sky is quite dark in the left side, and its a pretty abrupt change to a lighter blue once the dark blue hits the sunflower. Perhaps the polarizer was adjusted too much to the left side? But either way, I would like to have the blue gradiate from dark blue to lighter blue over the whole sky, not so abruptly.

I love how the single flower dominates the frame and its super sharp, great work!

I like the edit Alisa. The sky is much more even now and helps to focus the eye on the sunflower.
