Spent

[Evil Heather]

Great shot! I love the pollen on the leaf.

[Lori Rompolski]

awesome shot, poor flower looks worn out....

[Robert Velten]

Poor sunflower, face no longer turned to the sun, gone to seed. Sweet shot, really stands out against that purple wall.

[Katrina Cristy]

Love this! Looks like that sunflower had a rough night.

[Rick Schies]

Oh my, this one has definitely seen its better days.

[Carolyn R]

Poor sunflower! So tired and weary!

[Angie]

Love it against the purple! :)

[Rudi Teruel]

Thats one sad sunflower. They are always pretty.

[stephanie dp]

wow! that is about how i feel right now. . .good capture.

[Louise & Ken]

The bigger they are, the harder they fall...

[Ellen E]

LOL @Weezilou
beautiful photo Brad. I love how the flower seems to be weeping.

[Christine Fitzgerald]

Even when sunflowers are on their way out, they still evoke that warm and happy feeling for me. Are you feeling "spent" today or was that just to go with your capture? Either way, it is sadly the perfect title to go with this wilting beauty. Hope you have a Happy Monday (as happy as a Monday could possibly be)

[Qai Simon-King]

oh, the sunflower's sad.. dramatic capture Brad. : )

[Miriam S]

Well, I must admit I have never seen a sunflower not chasing the sun & being all smiles & happy but I guess they have bad days too. the heat must have got to it...or too much sun..is that possible ? LOL! Nice capture!

[Fiona Kierans Dunne]

Great shot! Poor sad sunflower :(

[Cecilledj]

I've never seen a very sad sunflower..nice shot

[FunnyFace]

Awww.... its that time of year isnt it? Lovely pic

[Claire Benigno]

the flower looks so sad..great shot though!

[BirdNerd (Sandra M)]

that single word says it all.

[Jennifer Loftin]

Again, great title! :D I love all about this photo, though. I am digging that purple background behind the vibrant "spent" sunflower, as well as those massive green leaves. Just totally new take on a sunflower. Love it! PS: thanks for your words yesterday on my photo, blessed me. :)

[cglist]

Lovely composition! (Looks like this one made it almost all the way to the roof!)

[Henriette Sparkes]

Stunning shot of it though! I even love them when they are all dried out! Purple wall is fabulous too :-)

[bonnie lee wilson]

Poor sunflower -- it must have THE Arthritis in his stalk and now can't stand up straight ! The end of summer weather is upon us and I guess that means old age if you are a sunflower. Looks like its pollen is spilling over -- and it still does has its lovely golden yellow color (for a little bit more). I love how you used the perspective that made the sunflower & leaves and stalk take up almost the whole photo.

[FaerieMoon]

Aw, it does look like it coughed up the last of it's energy. Very cool capture, Brad

[Della]

beautiful!

[Emer Hyland]

ah the poor sunflower he look exhausted

[Mark Buehl]

I like the angle of this shot. Nice cropping and lighting.

[Alecio]

Very beautiful, and I love the pollen on the leaf!

[Carol-Ann]

Great shot. This could be my self-portrait this week, minus the pollen as I am allergic.

[BLG]

the title of this shot is so funny. and I don't like billboards that much either but I also don't like toll roads :)

[Chimom]

where did you find the golden sunflower against a purple wall??!! and the title makes me laugh. love it!

[Craigy P]

Autumn is definitely coming

[Bill Dodsworth]

Fall is here, poor thing

[jennylee]

Sunny boy there is looking a bit tuckered out! :)

[Mrs. Smith]

Perfect title....and I feeling like this sunflower right now. I'm spent!

[Richard Tyson]

Great shot, love the title!

[Robin]

Love this, Brad. You've captured it perfectly.

[Linda M]

love the pollen on the leaf and the shot in general.

[Amanda Smith]

Still so colorful but she looks so sad.

[Kelly f Fala]

so perfect with that title. amazing

[Michelle (chelmck)]

poor thing looks all tuckered out

[Angie Reeves]

Did this poor sunflower succumb to the heat wave in your neck of the woods!? Nice shot, and lovely color!

[Karen Hofmann]

Awwww, the poor thing! It looks like I feel about my butterflies leaving. Wonderful shot.
