I'd crop to remove the trees in the background - just leave the field of sunflowers.

It's interesting how the flowers in the distance almost create what looks to be heat waves.

Peter, I really think this was under appreciated. And I agree with your choice to keep the haze there. Great shot!

Comment by OdysseyF22:
This is one of the best covered bridge shots I've seen. I've been working on photographing the ones in Rutland County for years and have always had trouble balancing the light inside & outside. Don't know why I never thought of this approach; putting the sun behind the front like that, with it still showing through the boards is brilliant. It adds character to the shot and balances the light while leaving great shadows and details in the interior.

I think it's a fun idea with great play on words. I guess the worst part is that after you submitted you wish you hadn't. Still a great macro with beautiful colors and lighting.

Post Challenge: In hindsight, I never should have entered this. The details, creativity, and set up were just not there....
