I took this photo to capture the beauty of nature, light, color, and detail as depicted in the sunflower’s face.Editing
I used a small wet brush in Adobe photoshop to accent the edges of the petals.In my camera bag
I keep a Canon 70D and a Canon 5dmark1V with Tamron macro/ tele zoom lenses attached in my bag.I’m ready to shoot on the fly!Feedback
I’m a self taught photographer. I almost always shoot from the hip. I don’t always go looking for things to shoot, I shoot what finds my eye. Believe in yourself If you can see it, you can shoot it !
