Phone: iPhone 5S
Apps used: Fotor + iPhone editor
This photo came in second for POW voting, so I thought it would be best to do a recipe for it. While it might not seem it, this shot was quite difficult because sunflowers are very tall (and I'm very short) and they were beyond a fence I couldn't go over or around. To get this shot, I had to go through my car's sun roof and kneel on top of my car (I probably looked really weird doing this) and align myself as best I could with the flower.
There were quite a few sunflowers in this garden, but I chose this one because I thought it had character. The half grown (or half died) petals really spoke to me and the bee (undoubtedly enjoying the pollen) really added a nice touch. I made a point to take the shot when he landed on the flower instead of just buzzing around it.
Because the flower was so far away, I chose to take the photo, then crop it, rather than zoom in with my camera because I thought that would sacrifice quality. I enhanced the colors slightly with Fotor and then cropped using the iPhone's built in editor.
