Amazing colors and light. At first the presence of the car bugged me, but the more I look at this image, the more I appreciate the added touch of the passing car. It adds a little touch of reality to this otherwise almost surreal scene.

@willow: That was the way I felt about the car as well. But, I do appreciate both points of view. Thanks for your comment Willow!

Fantastic lighting, much warmth and drama. It looks as if it could almost be a field of dreams.

How I love this Craig! Not only are sunflowers my favourite flowers in the world, but look, a parting like the red seas....and this colour! I am so taken with this! Bravo!

great shot! Great colour and I love the mystery added with the car driving away from a car wide path??? ;-)

@Bill Ault: I think a tractor cut the path. I'll post a picture of the tractor early next week. Thanks for your comment Bill!

Not often you get to see a blaze of colors like this, amazing shot. I like the pov through the field.

Almost a 'Field of Dreams' type shot. Very cool (except for the bit of car.)

wonderful light - I really like the way the sunflowers are leaning toward the sun, even in death.
