This is a very 'sad' specimen of a sunflower, but the light, colour and dof have transformed it into something beautiful.

I don't think it's sad at all... it's very beautiful. Nice light. Well done.

'sad' in that it represents the end of the season - but a very fine shot nonetheless!

Season is over... and this sunflower is finished, but still has some nice color.

Incredibly beautiful. Like those Cape Cod beaches, sunflowers have but a limited time in the sun.
