Series are hard to do as you want to top the last pic. And you've done that with each new picture.It is a pleasure to watch this beautiful flower go from the bud to full bloom. So I know we will see more in this series. And what a joy it has been for all of us. The color, detail, pov, and just all over spectacular view of the inner works of the sunflower is astonding. Great work destined to be mentioned and recognized as sheer talent from an artist that is on her way up. #4509273Evy Johansen July 14, 2007
