Location
I took it in a village near Caspean sea in north of Iran.Time
It was afternoon,under a very bright sunshine in a garden,August 13 ,2013.Lighting
it was under direct sunshine so photo had no shadows ,dark or light,though I like very much shadows but timing showed the pure quality of a sunflower.Equipment
very common camera :CanonIXUS220HSInspiration
I carry my cammera everywhere with me and I love flowers.Editing
Yes, with adobe photoshop,I made the bacgrand black but kept some leaves,hdr,spherized both horizontal and vertical and then made a mild polar coordinates and finally some touch in Asds,I bulged the photo in order to make the leaves closer together,and did .some color editing.In my camera bag
Cammera and Iphone,but I never use Iphone for photography exept family photos.Feedback
The photo shoud be symmetrical to have a nice result,keep some of background colors like sky and green leaves to give the atmosphere to the photo.when you reached the pleasant stage of editing ,please stop of overdoing and take note of your editing in order to have a refrence in such case like mine,if you were asked how you did it!
