Photo of sunflower in it's absolute prime, taken at the very top of a hill to allow a straight on shot while using the wispy clouds and blue sky as a frame / background and dark brown seeds as a foreground..

The fluffy golden yellow petals appear to be on a different plane between the clouds/sky background and seeds foreground. causing somewhat of a 3D like effect.

This picture got me thinking very differently about photography. So many intangibles and while it was taken with a now very old iphone4 with basically just cropping done it will likely always be one of if not the best photo I ever take.

Thank you Hilda. I appreciate your encouragement. This was a really special picture , have always been a technician (science vs. art, was a software developer for years) but this was the first picture were the artistic composition was more important then the technical, Was taken with old iphone but still decent pic.
See all
