It looks large here but actually this is a small flower. Took this shot on a trip to Brenham, Texas during Blue Bonnet season. Loved every minute of my trip! I thought the Blue Bonnet bokeh was so gorgeous!
I also won Nik Software Complete
Collection as one of the prizes for my winning entry for the ANPW contest.I took this into Nik Complete and adjusted the contrast and color.
and I have been learning how to use it. This is an image taken in my garden. I took it into Lightroom 2 and played with Clarity and to obtain a mood which felt to me as a "subtle" disposition. Sunflowers are one of my favorite things to photograph...just looking at them makes me happy. :-)
