This Time the Dream's on Me

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.

    I'm not a big fan of sunflowers, but this photo is very beautiful. I love the lighting and clouds are amazing behind the nice yellow. :)

    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.
