Default "Stolen" flowers
I walked up our street and noticed my neighbor's beautiful flower garden. I did some post processing...

BEFORE:

lillysooc

AFTER:

starlilly pp

I cropped image and desaturated the greens 100% and then desaturated the Master 30%

Great capture! I liked the first shot but after seeing your 2nd shot, it was much more pleasing. Not as busy, great focus, and the pp you did was just great. Keep up the good work!
