still experimenting with the sun but loved the way it backlit these daffodils making the yellow so intense
I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

Beautiful and delicate. Might be interesting to see whether some sort of reflector would light up the front part and bring out that colour a bit more.

That is neat! It looks like a flashlight - so bright! Also, the sparkling edges look almost like "fairy dust" - very pretty!
