[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Walking by the canal side I couldn't resist taking some shots of sunflowers, they always appeal to me. Rather than upload a colour image though, I decided to experiment with a B/w conversion as I liked the strong shadows on the petals.

Shot in RAW, converted to B/W with an orange filter, cropped to a square format, sharpened and added a border.

Joy,
Ireally like taking this usally colorful flower and creating a monochrome image. The square framing is a great choice making a strong composition showing the light interplaying with the subject.
Nicely Done
