13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Sunflower Still Life

"Natural shape, form and flow". This image is part of a series on Sunflowers that I worked on last summer. I wanted to focus on the beauty of the Sunflower before it fully bloomed. I really liked the shape, flow and form of this emerging sunflower. I chose to shoot the image in black and white, not a conversion. I took the photo outside in natural lighting (no flash).
