I found a field of sunflowers not far from home and although most of them were dead or dying I decided to give them a try. Frank (Mangles) told me last time to get down low...I did on the first one, but the sky certainly didn't compliment the sunflowers at all! Stood up for the second one; what I about this one is the single sunflower in the front standing tall! It's like he's saying, "I'm not ready to die!". The third one was just taken out of the car window...didn't even realize I got the American flag in it, too! :)

Nice images Sue
The sky was not your friend today, I don't know what time of day you were out but early morning from daybreak until about 8:00 am is usually the best time ( around here ) or late afternoon. if you camera allows it try a 1/3 stop under exposure, since I shoot all manual im not 100% sure what the auto setting would be, probably -ev1/3 , this will add a bit more saturation to your colors.

I like the way you caught the light on the leaves. It adds interest.

Nice Sue. The sunflowers in the third one look as they may be paying tribute to the flag!? Regards, Jeff

Sue, I like all of them but because the last one has the US flag in it so to me it is the best. Thanks for sharing them with us by posting them.
