This poor sunflower looks like it had reached its limits and was bowing down in defeat to the sun's unrelenting heat. All summer I wanted to get some pictures of sunflowers, but it just never happened, except of course when I didn't have my camera on me and had to resort to my cell phone. Oh well - sometimes you take what you get and deal with it. In this case I've applied some Topaz Adjust and finished with Coffee Shop framing.
Wow! I LOVE the processing! I keep picturing this large, as in poster sized! I especially like the "crunchiness" of the first shot, although the light flare is in the 2nd is also wonderful. And that looks like the perfect "etchy/edgy" framing around the shot. Is that a free coffee shot action, the framing?
ReplyDeleteOh man, Nicki, the pp on these is awesome! Love love that first shot--it is just perfect. Sorry about all the heat. Send some our way!!
ReplyDeleteThanks - Angela - yes, the framing is a free coffee shop action (web paint I believe).
ReplyDeleteToo bad you missed out on the beautiful yellow!! But love what you did with these shots!!
ReplyDeleteSuper fantastic post processing....they would look great as framed works of art!!! LOVE them, and it seems like this is sort of out of your normal work, but I do love them!!
ReplyDeleteI like the purply sunflower on the second shot!
ReplyDeleteAwesome shot! Love the processing!
