Nikon D200, 50mm, f/2.4, 1/80 second, ISO 100. This sunflower was right by my back porch, with the sun positioned behind my shoulder so the flower was evenly lit.

Have fun with this week’s challenge and be thinking about new themes you’d like to try heading into this year. (Leave your thoughts in the comments below)
