These little sunflowers grow wild along the sides of the road here and are always such a happy sight to me. Their season is quickly coming to an end so it was time to stop for a photo. Yellow and blue is my favorite color combination so I was delighted that the sky cooperated for this shot.
I love sunflowers Lisa! Lovely composition and contrasting colours. Great shot.

That sunflower feels almost "hyperrealistic" in the realistic perfection of its capture .. . . and what a fun caption for the image!
August 29th, 2013

I have to tell you that all day I've been thinking it's Weds and that means B&W. Not that I did anything, but somehow your BWW is etched in my internal clock.

Great shot, lovely composition.

Love the yellow and blue together and really like your conposition here. Lovely summerly pic, this reminds me that I have to go shoot some sunflowers too before their season is over.
August 29th, 2013  
Wonderful colours and a simple shot. I've got some of these in my garden - must be great to see them growing wild.
August 29th, 2013  
Such a simple shot, but you have captured it perfectly. I love the blue and yellow combo, as well.
August 29th, 2013  
Ah, funny...Also did have a picture of a sunflower 'headed' in the sky but the sky was so 'white' so I didn't use it. Your sky is beautiful and love the contrast with the yellow slender sunflower !
August 29th, 2013  
awesome comp and contrasting colors
August 29th, 2013  
Such wonderful use of negative space, love the vibrant colours!
August 29th, 2013  
Oh, that's lovely! the sunflower is so crisp and I love the clouds in the background. Yes, yellow and blue together is so fresh, pretty and cheering.

This is gorgeous! I love sunflowers :)

The sky is beautiful. fav
August 30th, 2013  
This is a good example of how you see things differently. We took a short side trip on a back road yesterday and saw millions of sunflowers lining the road. The temptation was to photograph the volume, not the one perfect one placed against the blue sky. Great seeing.
August 30th, 2013  
A beautiful shot and pov! I love your entire album and well done on the top 20!!!
August 30th, 2013  
Absolutely stunning shot. So simple.

@nanalisarocks Thank you for thinking BWW, Lisa! I have to say I fell off the BWW bandwagon for most of August. My vacation threw me off. I never even registered the days of the week. I have missed it though and will get back on it for September. Join me, k?!
August 31st, 2013  
@pflaume I think I might, lol!
August 31st, 2013  
Pretty and very effective colour combination + composition! Love it!
