I wish I had stopped down to F11 for this one.
 
@Alan Clark nice sunflowers. Can I ask a favor? do my recently uploaded pics look underexposed? they look fine on the tablet I edited them on, but dark/dull on my laptop, I'd like another pair of eyes for a tie-breaker.

They look fine on my iMac.
 
Transferred directly from camera to phone after a quick walk in the garden.

It is actually a Dahlia. I have no idea which variety.

Lovely artistic composition. I like it!
Thank you! I especially enjoy shooting closeups and macros of flowers and other subjects and I tend to strive for doing something a little different..... Glad you appreciate this image!
