Thanks PJ. The irony is that this sunflower is only about 1.5 inches in diameter - just a weedy sprig struggling in the compost under the bird feeder. So in that sense - it falls a bit short of being the big glorious sunflowers that everyone loves.

Whenever I try growing the big ones some critter eats the flowers, usually before they fully open. Its always at night so its probably a raccoon.

That's a very nice image of an almost ideal sunflower. It looks almost too good to be true, like an illustration in a taxonomy book on sunflowers.

Studio macro. Pentax K1, DFA 100mm macro, pixel shift mode, 46 stacked images combined in Zerene Stacker.

This was more difficult to stack and needed more touching up due to the much greater distance form front to back.

Comments welcome.
