Wild Sunflowers In Retro
Wild Sunflowers....there is just something about them which I have always loved, and are a favorite subject of mine to photograph. Captured using my Tamron 200-400mm lens, I wanted something that sort of harked back in a retro style to old style film, something that didn't just come off as a standard closeup of a Sunflower. I wanted to capture a sense of emotion, a sense of feeling....I hope I achieved that and I hope you all like it

I love how you played with the focus. Your colors are very warm with the light... you can almost feel the sun. (Well, actually, I can feel the sun's warmth but I thought you'd think I was crazy, but I guess that's me for you
