Sunflowers

[jo]

I took a photograph of a huge sunflower the other day and thought I'd try some of the painting techniques on it. I wasn't entirely happy with the first one I did, although it did look like painting, so I started again and tried applying gazillions of filters. My main image is the result and I think I like it. The other one is more or less as it came from the camera.

Jo, it looks terrific! Great photo and presentation; I like how one little petal sneaks over the frame at the top!

Thanks, Chuck. I can never resist cropping and having something hang out of the frame -- kind of like my hair... :rolleyes:

that is a great shot. I have to check it out. I pack sunflower seeds for a living because someone told me i had to have money to give to others, like mort., food, etc. so hi ho hi ho it off to work i go. I really do love the picture it just flows.

jo,

What a excellent image. I really like what you have done with the sunflower. Wonderful job.

Are you packing seeds for that nervous parrot and her feathered friends, ladybug?

[ladybug]

well believe me he gets his share. If he is not happy with his selection he shoots them clear across the room. I pack for DAVID sunflower.

Jo, what a gorgeous sunflower. I, also, like the petal hanging over the edge.

Jo, great job. I love the photo;)

Jo, excellent painting effect! I like how the sunflower is drooping over too!

[PegPowell]

Very nice, I'm still trying to come up with a painting effect that I like. Some day...

That's a great photo and I love the filters you used on it!
