Gorgeous and I'm glad you explained only minimal post work. You were certainly there at just the right time.

Amazing shot! As they say, it's not the camera but the photographer.

A few summers ago I was meandering around Tuscany and I fell in love with the sunflower fields. This capture is not photoshopped, I was just at the right place at the right time. Yes, I added a little texture and sharpening and perhaps a bit of vibrance but the scene was as is. Sometimes you get lucky. Have a great week 😊 I downloaded this from my phone so the resolution is minimal.


Very good shot and very good shot opportunity. Obviously it is a sunset, because the ripe sunflowers always point to the east and the sun is behind.

Facing of sunflower towards the sun is known as phototropic movement. This is due to presence of auxin, a growth hormone in the stem. ... The higher concentration of auxin in the shaded side causes that side to grow faster, resulting in a positive phototropic curvature. Note: this effect diminishes in mature plants that are not in a rapid growth phase.

On the day when the sun is absent i.e. cloudy sunflowers follow their in-built biological clock (natural circadian rhythm). Therefore, their direction remains unchanged throughout a cloudy or rainy day, compared to the other usual days.

Even more amazing is their flower's seed growth pastern... This pattern of seeds within a sunflower follows the Fibonacci sequence, or 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144...1 If you remember back to college math each number in the sequence is the sum of the previous two numbers. Sunflowers typically have 55 perfect spirals! How awesome is that!

thank you for sharing Kalina

When the simple [Reply] link is used, all the "Thank you" replies look the same.

One needs to use the [Quote Reply] link to tie each "Thank you" back to a specific commenter.

Pretty sure this is correct ...if not I am sure someone will correct me.

Just a thought, value it as you like.

You have exceptional talent. I follow those that I feel are the best on this site. However, over time I gradually feel I'm too busy; so don't open favored links. I do often return to scan your work. You present consistent quality via a photographer's eye. I'm never disappointed. Thanks for sharing!!
