Dare to Shine

This particular daffy stood out for me in the original photo, he seemed to be reaching for an extra share of sunlight over his buddies. Thanks to young Merv at Camera Club tonight, I finally figured out how to make it look the way I wanted it to.

    Bella…look at the sad faces on all the poor b&w flowers, If you look hard you can see it.

    I like what you have achieved here, probably prefer the original where they are all happy flowers…lol

    The selective colour is brilliant. This is an overacheiver daffodil alright.
    I must say that I never thought that the phrase “overachiever daffodil” would ever come out of my mouth…..but there you have it.
    Love it.
