Yet more Sunflowers
Anyone tired of them yet :biggrin: , yes this is the same field this past weekend, it was starting to look a little more beat up though. Not a spectacular sunrise as far as colour goes, but the light on the flowers was nice.
There are a few more fields around here starting to bloom as John has mentioned, for those that are interested!.

I think I like the sunrise light a lot better then the sunset. For some reason all the sunset images I've seen look strange and not as natural. Thanks for posting Nick!

I agree with Aleks, the sunset stuff all look HDRish and your 1st image here looks wonderful.

Love the kiss of light on the flowers in that first one. I personally enjoyed sunrise more than sunset shooting at these fields.

GREAT stuff!

Great stuff, love that second one. I could see darkening the foreground in it just a hair.

The first and third are really good. Love that closeup of the sunflower with the out of focus ones behind!
The greens in the second are a bit too bright, IMO.

@ Jeremy & John, thanks for the C&C, you're absolutely right, the green does need darkening.

Even without great light they still look good, not something I ever expected to see in Colorado.

#2 is too cool! I saw a great field on my way to the GSD yesterday, but there was nowhere to pull over and there was a cop there so i couldnt make my own pull-over. :smile:

I really like #s 2 +3...great job!

Those are great, Nick! That first one is my favorite. I like the color in the second, but a personal preference for me would be to darken the lower foreground just a smidge. The close up is a strong shot as well! Excellent comps as usual.

I love the light glowing on the third one! :eek:

Love the color and comp in that first image. Nice light on the lone sunflower.
