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

Sometimes I feel stupid about saying the same things always again. But I'm really loving this picture The depth of field and the focus on the flower itself is just wonderful! I'd love to see such an sunflower field myself someday. Haven't seen anything like this in my area. We usually have rapeseed and wheat on the fields here. But I guess I could try a picture like this with rapeseed too
