Default Golden Sun Flower

Here's a shot I took several weeks ago. With a little post processing I came up with this photograph.

I really like this... the flowers, the tone and composition. You've done a great job with the processing, giving it a nice fine-art look.

I like how the green in the background matches the green in the leaves and gives a continuity to the photo.

Default How I did this,

Using the blend tool in GIMP I created a "texture", and then set the layer to burn. The results were wonderful.
