Another stab at the sunflowers at Hitchin

[woody12]

Hi, just read the write up on landscape photography by longlensphotography and it was a revelation. After my last attempt which some liked others gave helpful advice like longlensphotography by not shooting into the sun and getting a easier shot from the warm glow behind and making the foreground more contrasty. My biggest problem and i'm sure others have this problem that it is easy to push them damm sliders up rather then being more subtle. Well its all about learning and hopefully this one was better for the things i've learnt.

no worries
I can wait a year, plenty other stuff to photograph.

p.s. I like your pictures, would be more impactful if the flower closest to the camera was facing towards the camera instead of away from the camera.

A big improvement and a really great location to go out for the golden hour.

This. Even the 4 or 5 heads on the right side for example would be a better pick.
