Summer Sunflowerby *Wessonnative

Another one from the archives...

Another treasure from your gallery Dan. Beautiful as always. I wonder why they are called sunflowers?!

*Wessonnative Jan 10, 2007

Thanks, Z! They are gorgeous, there's no doubt about it. I've heard several stories about how they got their name, but the one I prefer to believe is that the seed pod in the center looked like the sun, and the petals looked like the sun's rays. So, I guess it was natural for it to go from there. At least it makes some sense.

so yellow! such perfect flower..isn't it?

*Wessonnative Nov 27, 2005

They are gorgeous, aren't they? This field was nearly 100 acres, and was at it's peak blooming stage. I was surrounded by so many blooms, it was difficult to pick just one to capture. Thanks very much for your comment. I appreciate it, as always.

yes they are! oh that sounds beautiful!
most welcome!

I like how you capture this this sunflower without revealing the stalk. It somewhat makes it looks a little like it's resting on the leaves. Rather different from other sunflower shots that I have seen.

Yeah...keep on doing it. I want to see more great photos from you

*Wessonnative Nov 24, 2005

Thank you for a great comment. I try to arrange my compositions to eliminate distracting elements, and from your comments, it appears that I succeeded. Thanks again!

gorgeous.

looks like it's almost 3d.... can almost touch it...

*Wessonnative Nov 24, 2005

Thanks. The lighting was very soft when I shot this, and I think it helped me get that effect since I had to work with a very shallow depth of field to keep a high shutter speed. Thanks again.
