Ok, I admit I'm a sunflower freak. I love to photograph them, gaze at them, and have them all over my house. This is one of my all-time favorite shots, taken at a domestic sunflower field near Beloit, Kansas while my hubby was doing a mountain bike race. The field was a walk-in hunting area, which meant there were no fences and I could just walk in. I spent over an hour getting up close & personal with my favorite blooms that day.

Quite appealing! The clouds in the background are an important element. In fact, although it looks like you've already cropped this to 4x5, I'd still suggest perhaps cropping out about half of the clear sky at the top.

Terrific sunflower image Angela. I might be tempted to drop the darks a little in this to give this a bit more contrast. But heck, that's just what I would do. It's a wonderful image - great color combo as well. I can see why these are your favorites.

I really like how the sunflower fills the frame with the beautiful sky in the background. I've never seen a sunflower that larger, wow........... Very nice photograph.
