I loooovveeeee sunflowers and I saw so many photos of them, but this one, to me, is the king! So so vivid, like dancing in the wind! Fabulous, love it! Huge congratulations Tanju!
A superb shot. You get a real sense of the wind blowing on the petals (whether of not that is the case). The smaller out of focus flowers and the angle create a real impression of height and the crop gives the main flower a feeling of 'taking on the viewer'. This going beyond the simple shot and looking for the unusual angle is what really lifts this image above the ordinary for me.
Oho.. I will give you a nickname now: Tanju, the Lord of Flower Macros! =D
This is (I am a happily married hetero male, but I will still use this phrase) absolutely fabulous! The color, the.. why mention parts, everything is right with this one!
