Press to the sun, reach way up high
The dewdrops touch the golden sky
They wash the daylight from your view
And bring to life your purple hue

Another lovely poem/flower combo Denise! Tell me about your pp technique. What did you use to achieve this effect? It's very Monet!

Thanks Julie. I used a program to give it a Monet effect then added Topaz Simplify to pop the colors and smooth down the brush strokes. I tried to shoot slightly upward on the flower to accentuate the cone a bit.

Like Julie said, another great combo.

It's good to be Julie's coneflower.

You capture the beginning of summer, pitch-perfect.
