This photograph is split horizontally into two main sections. The bottom half contains a dense field of sunflowers that stretches from the immediate foreground toward the horizon. Large, detailed flower heads are positioned at the bottom, while many smaller flowers recede into the distance to create a sense of depth. The top half of the frame is filled with a wide sky where blue and grey clouds gather above the yellow and orange light of the setting sun.

The composition uses a bright light source on the right side, which is partially blocked by the silhouette of a single sunflower. This placement allows the light to glow through the edges of the petals and leaves. While the lower portion of the image is dominated by the green and yellow tones of the plants, the upper portion transitions from the warm colors of the horizon into the cooler whites and greys of the cloud cover.
