16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
A sunflower in a field of many.

This photo is of a sunflower in a field with many others surrounding it. I chose this particular flower because of the bent pedals and the several insects that were visiting it. These characteristics made it stand apart from the others. I had taken this photo at the end of the sunflower season when the flowers were starting to decay but was lucky to come upon this one.
