    Had a lot of fun shooting this sunflower yesterday. It was very cooperative, only a few minor complaints about the working conditions. CS5, adjusted BG color, some Topaz Detail & and PB oil.

    Hi Brendan, this is very, very nice. The only thing I might consider is to mask back in the original blue sky so that the effect is only on the flower, but this is quite lovely!

    Thanks, Andrew, much appreciated. Yeah, I can see now that I got a bit lazy with my selection. I actually replaced the original BG color, as it was shot indoors. I think I need to rework this some more.

    Brendan, Nice work with the filter and the bright blue adds a bit of whimsy but Andrew also makes a good suggestion. I guess it would depend on my mood which I would prefer.

    Brendan,

    I also like it as presented. Beautiful detail in the center of the flower. Well done.

    Hi Brendan, this works for me! I like it. Great composition and effects. I like the bold colors.
