Zinnea not sunflowers Shobin  ;)

#1 - I like the intent, but the bottom right leaves are taking away from the pure form.

#2 - love the insect in flight but again distracting brighter elements in the background

#3 - I love the texture you've brought out here.

#4 - my fav of the lot. The light is especially interesting with the fall-off towards the bottom of the petals.

Thank you Bharat, SKN, Vimal and Vyas for the nice comments...

@Bharat, you are right, it looks bit distracting, the reason I kept that leaf thinking it would fill the emptiness at the right side  :)... I have removed the leaf, thank you for the suggestion...  :) ..

and thank you for the name correction, I was thinking it was sunflower  :D ...

@ Vimal, is this you were talking about?   :) ...

Now that Shobin has conclusively established that Bharat and Vikram are the same person, both of us are going to get banned for using duplicate id's.  ;D

Vikram/Bharat, can I please have the userid/password (which I just forgot :) ) to my redbubble site so that I can download my hi res images.
