Photographers Comments
This is a single flower from a plant that reminds me of a sunflower in miniature.

I can see why it reminded you of a sunflower, Head looks nice and sharp and I like the range of colours, images works well as a square with the stem coming in from a angle. Although I think a slightly darker background would make the flower stand out more.
