10/17/07 - The Last Tickseed Sunflower

For good, bad or indifferent this is what I saw. It's one holdout tickseed sunflower sitting amidst dried plants and black seed pods (tickseed pods - whose seeds stick to your clothes when you walk through them).
I wanted to see if the texture and muted colors would work with a few splashes of yellow thrown in as a sort of painterly abstract. Oh well, every image can't be a homerun.

I think it works beautifully! I love the subtle textures and tones. And there's that one light tickseed behind the holdout which echoes the subject's form.

Very nice Ed. Super tone and texture. Well done.
