Sunflowers, Salisbury Plain
Looking at this picture I feel transported to warmer climes. I spent nearly an hour selecting this viewpoint so that the foreground was be filled with sunflowers, whilst the tree clump and sunset would balance each other on the upper intersections of thirds. There was no cloud but as the sun touched the horizon it gave me a starburst, mimicking the form of the flowers.
