Once again thanks for the feedback. Never would have thought about using flash in full daylight, but will remember that for next time.
I was at a photography class one time and the instructor made the comment that when he sees a photographer using a flash in daylight, he automatically assumes they are somewhat knowledgeable about photography.
What's funny is that people that don't understand photography see the same photographer using a flash during the day and they think "look at that idiot, he's using a flash in bright daylight."
Photography is all about capturing light. The thing about daylight is that, while there is usually plenty of light, it is usually not shining how and where you want it. You need to somehow control the light to make your pictures how you want them. In daylight, you can either alter the light that is there with a reflector or you can add light where you want, using a flash or strobe. The underside of the sunflower is in a shadow, so it's not receiving enough light, which is making it underexposed.
