Hi MFI. Yes, I would imagine you've seen and photographed lots of flora in a similar condition.
Rich, you (and MFI) are correct, it is the dried corpse of a sunflower. I don't think "past its prime" is accurate, though - this sunflower (and most of the other 10 I planted) never got close to prime.
Your guitar photo sings, and it glows with that lovely yellow, so I think you were wise to leave it that way.
It might be fun to see how it looks with the blossom alone desaturated a bit and lightened to make it a bit pastel in color and value.
Lorell, enjoy your girls' weekend.
I think I gained a few pounds just looking at your beautiful image.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
