Beautiful image. Great detail, even in the shadows. Nice sense of texture, composition and wonderful atmosphere. Can you tell us which film you used?

Very moody. Usually the pictures of sunflowers radiate peace, but this image is almost threatening. I wonder if there is any more detail to bring in the shadows? Great job. PK.

Good one. I like the drama here.

I didn't find it threatening-but perhaps it is because I am too much of an optimist. Excellent use of creative DOF. Linc

Nice composition with a very dramatic atmosphere. It's very impressive to take a usual theme and make it memorable.

Armen, the lighting here is quite good. Did you reflect some light back into the flowers? I just noticed that the dramatic light is coming from behind the foreground.
Chris Wang 20-Aug-2008 at 17:51No, I think this is a result of use the orange filter Armen
