Helpful Posts: Although I have started to focus on people/animals with people, the downside is they are not always available. As I find peace in photography, and miss shooting, I tend to look for other things that make my eye happy. So yesterday night I decided to play with a sunflower. This was taken with my 105, which I am still having a bit of a struggle with.

The struggle doesn't show. I like this composition and the DOF you chose. Very pretty!

Thanks for your comments Terri. I think the problem is my brain and the macros brain tend not to think alike ;-)

Re: Summer Sun (C&C Welcomed)
Taking the time and effort to overcome the struggles clearly paid off handsomely well. Great colors, composition and layers.

Re: Summer Sun (C&C Welcomed)
I wish that my photographic struggles looked this good. This is well executed and presents the sunflower, and colours in it, beautifully.

Re: Summer Sun (C&C Welcomed)
I am envious...I have one sunflower left with all these rains (another thunder! another bark from the dog downstairs.
) I like the layers of colours. I wish my struggle turns out beauties like this of yours. Then I can a happier camper.

Re: Summer Sun (C&C Welcomed)
Thanks all for the comments on the sunflower. My struggle with the macro is getting everything in focus, that I want in focus.
