Winter Sad

[invisible]

Something out of my comfort zone, for a change.

You should stay out of your zone for awhile..other than the tiny bit of unfocused leaf on the upper left for the nitpick, it's a keeper.

Colors work really nice here. Like ceeboy said, focus stacking may have resolved the OOF leaf issue.

I really like this.

Very nice shot..... surprised the mice have not eaten all the seed by now.

I'm old school (or maybe just old) and only do single-shot photos except when I do startrails Here I used the smallest aperture that my macro lens allowed (something stupid like f/32) to get this DoF.

Very nice shot..... surprised the mice have not eaten all the seed by now.

I was surprised to see the flowers still standing at all – temps around here have already reached the minus twenties (Celsius). It was explained to me that farmers wait until this time of the year to harvest the seeds, which came as a surprise.

Thank you all for your feedback!

I dunno, maybe... but this was just a scheduled bump. There's another one coming up tomorrow at 2:15pm ET regardless of the number of replies

Woah! No squirrels in Canada?!! Our sunflowers never have so much as a single seed left in them by this time -- really nice photo.

LOL! It's a sunflower, and she looks very much at home here

By the way, I've figured out your trademarked flower-shooting trick. (No, I'm not going to tell you how you do it but I will tell you it's VERY clever.)

That's all that matters, really

We do have squirrels, but they are smarter than the sunflowers – they left for the winter a long time ago!

Thanks guys for looking/commenting.

Frickin' LOVE this!

And contrary to popular opinion, I like the DOF. :sillysmi:
