Flowers with the sun behind them. I included the sun in the frame, but it goes to white or else everything else would be black. This was a great scene, especially for the deep blue sky and cloud formations that work together with the yellow flowers.

Yellow Sunshine at my website, Brilliant Photography by Richard X. Thripp.

Canon PowerShot A620, 1/800, F8, 7.3mm, ISO50, 2007-08-19T14:38:25-04, 2007-08-19_18h38m25

Source image. I added a blurry glow while keeping the grain in the sky as a counter-point to the soft flowers. The added contrast pushes the branches to black while keeping detail in the clouds (not the sun), but adds focus to the flowers. There's more info in my short article, On Exposure.

It is so beautiful!! :wow: The sun and blossoms are perfect, but the rest of the plant is too dark, I'd say. Great composition too.

Thank you. :D That was because the sun would only make the flowers really bright, from this angle. I like it for the contrast, but it's a matter of taste.

Thanks! Well, it took some editing... but the flowers and lighting were great from the start. I only had my old camera instead of my new Canon XTi, but the old one has a flip screen on it so I could get this angle without having to bend down to compose the shot.

A shot like this normally wouldn't pull off very well, but you made it quite nicely =)

Thank you! I thought the flowers would come out too dark but they didn't. :)

Well congrats on catching them being suncatchery and sharing them with the rest of us less fortunate to be talented with a camera :)
