I really like the story that is told here. You (IMO) are correct in the comp. I like how the highlights draw the eye to the other part of the picture. Your lighting on the flower is great!

Very nice photo, the very dynamic composition really makes this photo. Of course, the bold colors of the sun flowers don't hurt. Nicely done!

With this title it might be nice to see evidence of it having rained on the flowers even if it's staged by sprinkling some of the creek water on them.

The 'subject' behind the flowers distract treamendiously from the flowers...
