Sunflower Fract

Another sunflower image from Starr County, TX. Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS lens with the EOS-1D Mark IV. ISO 400. Evaluative metering +1 stop.

Don't be shy; all comments welcome.

Artie, The way the leaves are positioned really adds some interest. I think you did a great job w/ the black BG. The glow look works well w/ the Sunflower. Nicely done.:)

Thank you Denise. I actually like the Fracted version a lot better than the ORIG....

:):):)

Here's the ORIG.

Nice job with the filter, Artie. I like the way the sunflower center is still detailed with the effect of the "networked" leaves. The black background works well, too. Thanks for sharing the original to compare.

Thanks and YAW Cindy. I should have mentioned that I worked on a layer and erased the Fract effect from the center of flower. Denise taught me that trick.

Hi Artie, Nice bold look with the frac effect against the black BG. I like that you left the detail in the flower center. Well done.
