Amazing, what a great view, lovely surface angle, where you lying down or really bent over :)

@Lorraine: I was actually standing on a mound of dirt with my tripod extended quite high. The photo is a bit deceptive. These sunflowers were about 4.5 feet tall. Thanks for all your comments Lorraine!

A different image. and they do look like someone has sung them a lullaby. Nice.

That's different, I've never seen sunflowers like that.

Totally original, I hope you didn't wake them up from their peaceful slumber.

nice shot. i like your title, it's much less depressing than what i think of when i see the fields of sunflowers drying up (so we can have sundried seeds to eat i assume)--i don't really eat sunflower seeds often, but i do enjoy seeing them when they're 'awake' and look so happy :)
