Daniel,
Great combination of sky and the field of sunflowers. You didn't mention, but looks like a graduated/split ND was used? I think either it was a position a little too low or perhaps too strong of a grad because there's a little imbalance with the light, at least it seems that way to me. I do like the image quite a lot, sunflowers are always fun and I'm guessing you have a few more from this outing. Thanks for sharing.
I think it might be your first post here, so a belated welcome to NPN and the Landscape Gallery. Although I'm afraid I'm going to have to move this to the Man & Nature gallery. May not be obvious to all, but crops/agriculture are the "hand of man." Hope this makes sense, if you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to drop us an email.

Nice field of sunflowers, but the near 50/50 composition and the overexposed portions of the sky detract somewhat.
Your comments on others' work here would be greatly appreciated.

Nice patterns and colours and what a gorgeous sky to go with it. I do echo the imbalance Lon referred to. Further I would crop a sliver off the left to eliminate the tree/bush protruding from the edge.
