Thank you John and Penny
- I forgot what I was exposing for, I think the sunflower itself.

You could have exposed darker which would have given richer color and stronger contrast (my tendency), but you instead went toward over exposure which softens the color and gives a translucent effect that implies delicacy. A good choice for this subject. I will have to try this sometime.

Nice bright exposure that shows the light so well. Good composition too!

Thank you. :)
I really had a hard time with this subject for the mini and then I thought direct sun makes some glow and shadows. :)
(What do you mean by color burst? The hot spots is probably what the sun hit strongly and gave a few BH.......)

Yes our Suey has whacked us with this one a. Well done megirl.

Egads this bursts with color and vibrance! There are a few hot spots obviously that could be well toned down... but beautiful composition and detail. You could even do a color burst with no problem here. jano

I like the subdued color and the overall brightness suits the image well. -Doug
