Lesley from Lincoln, United States

Wonderful! I love to photograph sunflowers, as well. It must be my love for the contrast between the yellow petals and the blue sky that keep me taking so many even though I already have dozens in my files.

@Lesley: Les, I'm with you; there is something very special about sunflowers. One of the best parts about the Tour de France is seeing the riders go by the fields of sunflowers.

mo.langel from Courtelary, Switzerland

Magnifique soleil, il tombe bien, c'est tout gris chez nous, il ne fait pas beau!

A nice reminder of warmer days.

EYES WIDE SHUT from The library of my soul, United Kingdom

So magnificently captured against the glorious summer sky, a delightful portrait of vibrant colour and beauty, Jack.

@EYES WIDE SHUT: You call yourself "no photographer, merely a 'Happy Snapper'"; that is utter nonsense. You an extremely fine photographer. But to the point here, no-one gives more thoughtful comments on aminus3 than you do. You don't just whip off words like beautiful, extraordinary, lovely, etc.; you clearly have taken in the photograph and anything the photographer may have said. That is a powerful honoring and affirming of the photographer. As you can see from being on aminus3 a very short time, you have a whole slew of people who connect with you and appreciate you and your work. Thank you.

zahai from Berlin, Germany

Beautiful colors and composition. So full of warmth...exactly what i need on this grey day :)

16 Jan 2009 4:57pm

@zahai: You read my mind as to why I posted this photograph. There have been superb winter scenes on aminus3, but a little sign of brighter days is often welcome.

Francesc B. from région parisienne, France

Yes !... a big sun on my house... with beautiful vivid colors.
Where are my Ray-Ban ??? :))

Toni from Eastern Washington, United States

I love sunflowers. I posted several this summer - even one whose blossom hadn't opened yet. It was really cool, if I do say so myself. =) Thanks for the reminder - I needed it today, as I was slipping and sliding on the icy roads and parking lot at work.

@bluechameleon: It's amazing the way such a simple flower can bring so much joy.

Fantastic, even down to the cobwebs you caught on the petals, not to sound like a copycat, I posted last summer something similar. You caught the contrasting colors so beautifully. MAkes me year for the summer:)
