Description The first of another series I'm working on. This was taken in a lovely lady's garden. I was walking around and noticed what a beautiful garden she had and asked if she would mind if I wandered around and photographed her flowers. She said I was more than welcome to and seemed excited that I wanted to. I thanked her when I left and she said that I was welcome back anytime. I love people.

Thank you! I took a look at your journal feature. I actually have family that lives in Dubai. I'll let them know about it and see if they are interested in attending.

I like how you've cropped this- it shows off the centre better than any sunflower pic I've seen before.

Beautiful focus and angle on this! But, I would have preferred that you either totally included the center of the flower, or left out more of it.

This is my favorite out of the three. I like it very much! . I like the focus...and the composition (excellent job!). There is a little white dot on the seeds which annoys me hehe, but that is easy to fix just with the clone brush . Also, may wanna play with contrast and/or levels a bit...colours seem a bit dull, imo
