I found myself attracted to these two sunflowers in a fallowed field that borders a trail I walk almost everyday.  Since the field is situated next to an apartment complex’s parking lot, it seemed to me that the background would have muddied any image. Therefore, with the aperture value at 5.6,  I composed this image following RAJ’s instructions for a technique called “Focus Locking.”  First I composed the image with the sunflowers in the center, then pressed the shutter so that the flowers were in focus, and then with a half-pressed shutter I recomposed the image before pressing the shutter fully.
