Hey Adrian,
Beautiful light as usual from you and while I like the angle and colors.....a touch tight.....even for me. Don't get me wrong.....not much! A bit more room up top....so you had the same row of greeen leaves as you do on the bottom and perhaps even a touch more there to have the entire green leaf.......that would make the image complete. Still very well done.....looks like it is going to devour something!

Thank you very much, Roman! Unfortunately this is full frame image (only a very slight crop from the right) so, I will not be able to ad some more space...I was in the middle of a field with sunflowers, and didn't had very much space around me...Next time I will try to do better...:S3:

Hi Adrian. This is a different take on a sunflower image and I like it a lot. Beautiful light and excellent sharpness throughout. I can see Roman's point about the crop, though it's not a major issue for me. Overall, this is very well done!
