Instead of taking a photo of the whole sunflower, I thought I'd be different and focus on it's centre.

Comparison?

Hi.
It is difficult to decide which of the two pictures is "better" ((http://myolympus.org/document.php?id=5606) and (http://myolympus.org/document.php?id=5607)).
To me Ian's is better focused, but I like better the colors and composition of Udo's.
Anyway both of them are really nice pictures. Living in a sunflower country, I'll try to make a shot myself (in a few months!) because the subject is very interesting.

Nice pictures!

Hello Juan

Really glad that you liked the photo, I know it's hard to choose one from the other when there are two photos of the same subject side by side, but by different photographers, I think you got round it just right....lol ;-) Like you say " Both of them are really nice pictures ) and I agree with you, hope you have fun taking some photos of the sunflower as well.

Best regards, Ian
