I agree--fine shot. It would also be good if the sun were cropped out but it's fine as is.
Thanks, Don. Actually, this shot was an experiment for me. I was so intrigued with these images from some magazines with the sun creatively included inside the frame so I thought why not try to learn how do they do it. After 15 shots, I think I got the idea and how to meter scenes like this. Thanks for always dropping by and take a look.

Spot metering is your friend. The sun will blow out no matter what you do, so just concentrate on what you're interested in. This is pretty good, but it would be better if you raised the black point a bit.

Thanks for the tip, Richard. I use center-weighed metering on this one (you can change the size of the center weighed area on the D70). I'll make another pass on this one and raise the black point and save it as another file. Thanks.

I agree with the others, I think you have a lot of shots you should be Marketing for Sale Jiro :-)
Thank you very much, 10-13. When I have learned something about where and how to market my work I will let you know. As a newbie, I still have a lot to learn about photography before I will take that leap.

Speaking just for me, jiro, and concerning what may be an idiosyncratic reaction, shots with the sun in them get tiring to look at. It's not just this one and it doesn't matter how well composed they are. The brightness makes me want to look away pretty quickly.

Thank you very much, Don. I understand your point. It goes together with the idea "How much sky do you have to include to let the viewers comprehend that the sky is vast?" However, if I may indulge you, my vision is the silent or the unutterable love between the sun and the sunflower. Without the sun in the frame, how would I share the vision that I have then and complete the thought? I have been studying a lot about composition lately and I think the way I positioned the backlit sunflower it will subconsciously tell you that even though the sun is inside the frame, your attention will still go back to the flower even if you try to avoid it. your comment is highly noted and I will further study this matter carefully. For now, I will keep it as it is because I think I have achieved something that resonates from within me with this image. Thank you for sharing your idea.
