I was caught by the singularity of the sunflower all by itself. This is very typical of Texas countryside in June after lots of rain. The title is also a song title of a Willie Nelson recording.

Man it's green there this year! I did hear that there's been lots of rain. I very much like the solitary sunflower!

Cool frame... The sunflower sets it off. I just wish there where a little more detail, and it almost looks like its a little dark (that might just be my screen)...

looks slightly tilted to the left. very good color. wish, the flower was a bit larger. frame is too much, a simple white border would have worked better with this simple (in a good sense) image

Great shot with just the one flower. (I love that song! Ricky VanShelton?)

If it wasn't for that flower, I wouldn't like it. But I do.
