Description
A sliver of light from the the setting sun finds it's way to the face of a lone sunflower standing strong within a sea of dark despair providing warmth and hope of brighter days ahead. This dramatic image was shot in a field under stormy skies in Bennett, Colorado on the evening of 8-25-2016. I wanted to shoot something uniquely different than your normal flower shot and I think the dark skies from the passing storm, the drooping heads of the flowers in the background, and the single ray of light on the lone raised sunflower head helped me accomplish my goal. I hope you appreciate it and find meaning in it as I do.

The light of that hope shines through beautifully in this captivating image. Gratitude for the sharing.

And here you accomplished what you sought to do; and more! Even the choice of flower for the task demands considerations of 'Uniqueness'. Such a sky, as would be appreciated by Martin Heade way back when; you capitalize on that unique light and the viewer is rewarded... Wonderful collection, marvelous examples of the raw force of nature that sweeps through the vastness of America! Much appreciated - tdp

This is an extraordinarily powerful image. I wish I could do more than feature, like and favorite it. Excellent piece.

Thanks, David, I was looking to capture something a little different and I think I accomplished that. It may be a little too dark and dreary for some but I like it. Thanks for the comment and thanks for stopping by!
