Such beautiful macros! I love how the sunshine makes the color of the petals an even sunnier yellow.

I love the picture of the sunflower still opening. It’s conveys a nice warmth, but leaves you feeling slightly cool as though the weather is not quite there yet.

Now that the growing season is shutting down it’s a special treat to see sunflowers in bloom!

Great choice for Camera Critters and excellent action macro as well! I’m impressed with the sharpness of both the hover fly and the sunflower as well as the colors.
