Default Even a flower gets shy

Hi everyone!

This is my first sunflower shot. This flower's petals are somehow disarranged...makes this pic unique I suppose..hehehe.

This was also taken in Baguio while we were strolling in the park. Did a lil post processing on this to enhance it. Please tell me your thoughts on this guys..thank you very much!

Thanks Pala (can I call you Pala?)!

I was thinking if putting the vignette effect was effective....any more suggestion?

Nice shot! Like snapdragon said, the title catches your attention and is quite fitting. I like the lighting and the detail in the leaves and petals. I'm curious - what did you do in PP? It looks like a vignette was added, but only to the background? Whatever it is adds a nice effect by focusing attention on your subject.
