Persephone's Portfolio: Sunflower Flame

It's very difficult to take a bad photo of a sunflower.  From the top, the back, the side, it is always gorgeous.

This image was taken with a very shallow depth of field, meaning that only one plane is in focus, and the rest is left to go out of focus.  I love shallow depth of field -- the blur in the background is often beautiful, and the effect gives, parodoxically, a greater sense of depth.  This was originally a color photograph - it looks good in color too.

This image, like all the others in this blog or on my website, is available in any size, and can be purchased on www.maryannglass.com or at my gallery www.riverwindsgallery.com.
