Concentric Rings in Nature

[Krishna Prasad kotti]

Hi All,

This is my first post. I love to photograph Birds and Nature related elements. Recently I saw lot of sunflowers and they caught my eye.

I took this image last week.


Nikon D500, 70-200 f/4 + Kenko Extension Tubes
ISO 2000, f/8, 1/400 sec

Matrix Metering, Manual Mode -1/3 EV



Let me know your comments and critiques


Thanks
Krishna

Krishna welcome to macro! Well exposed and sharp, details and depth of field are good. The only negative thing I would raise is the blue sky. For me it does not add to the image in fact it tends to draw my eye away from the flower head.
I look forward to seeing more from you.

I agree with Jonathan - I would turn it into a square crop to take out the sky.

Thank you all for the comments. Somehow I did not like the square crop so I went for this one. I will again try cropping.

Nice sharp image and I like the colors and details. Agree about trying a crop to eliminate the blue sky.

Welcome to the Macro forum, Krishna! Lots of detail and interesting patterns (I expect this looks even better at full resolution!). I agree that cropping out the blue sky would make this strong image even better!
