Oooh, that is such a gorgeous image - sun on a sunflower, that's perfect!

I enjoy not listening to those who say not to shoot towards the sun:

This was picture was taken at sunset on the last evening of my summer vacation in France. We are on the summit of the Puy de Dome mountain, the tallest of a chain of dormant volcanos and one of the most beautiful and undiscovered areas of the country, in the region of Auvergne.

I love the way the light dances on the prairie at sunset. This is the way we left it not long ago.
