| Thanks for your lumy nomination. My Sunflower Wishes image has a story. Every year, Buttonwood Farm in Griswold, CT. grows 10-15 acres of sunflowers. For one week in July, they have a fundraiser called Sunflowers For Wishes. They sell bouquets of the sunflowers (my image is a bunch of bouquets ready for sale) and send all proceeds to the Make A Wish Foundation. The foundation grants final wishes for terminally ill children. Last year they raised over $75,000. This year they will most likely top that because they were highlighted in a national magazine, Yankee. I have never seen so many sunflowers, so I had to enter it. Thanks again for the nomination. |

This was one of my favorites in the 'July Free Study'.
An excellent floral image, with awesome detail, color, textures, crop, and composition.
The clarity is also excellent, and I just love the freshness, the vibrancy, the joyful look, and the exciting mood, this one gives me.
Well done, on capturing an amazing fresh colorful floral image.

| I like the fullness of the flowers. For me, if there had been a greater contrast with the shadows and highlights to make the flowers "pop" more, I would have scored it higher. |
