Sunflower study
Colours are great, focus is great as is the exposure in both photographs so you have every right to be well pleased with that. The composition of the first one seems a bit too central for my taste which you have demonstrated in the second one by having it off centre. I think I'd have had a little more space at the top to move the head down away from the centre line.
With flowers I always struggle with the leaves and in the second one there do introduce a slightly jarring element but I don't know what you can do about that.

I'm a simple soul and prefer the first one, both the colour and composition. Was it a big hoverfly or a smallish sunflower?
Thank you all for your comments. I thought about a different crop for the second, especially off the top but decided to leave it as was.
Thanks to John(John941) for the tip about focussing when we met last week and to Mike(mikew) for the resizing/resharpening tip, both have helped considerably.

It's a minature sunflower. I waited seemingly ages for the hoverfly to land and evetually it obliged.
Darlene, be my guest if you want to take a copy of either or both.
