Wind-blown Sunflowers

Continuing on the sunflowers theme (from my local community gardens), I pulled out this photo of some windblown sunflowers. With HDR photos, I usually blend together 3 images on the Photomatix program. While Photomatix does a good job of removing 'ghosts' (objects that are blurry because they moved -- like, windblown sunflowers...) -- sometimes it just seems to work out better to run one photo through the Photomatix program, like the windblown sunflowers below:

This second set of windblown sunflowers was situated in a planter not too far from the Community Gardens:
