This Time the Dream's on Me

this guy wants to be in the spot light too.

I am Captain! hehe

i like the sun lines in here

I love the backlight

This Time the Dream's on Me by code poet.

While driving through Biltmore Estate grounds, there is a field of sunflowers. I liked how the sun made the clouds look and wanted to capture both.

Technical details: Canon 40D, EF-S 10-22mm @ 10mm, split neutral-density filter, processing in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.

Drew Morris says:

This is good. I would like to see some detail in the sunflower, maybe if you had bounced some light into it from a reflector or evena mirror.
