Sunflower, Africa.
Of all the places, I found this sunflower in Botswana, Africa.
there was a large field of them, surrounded by a huge fence to keep the ELEPHANTS out, LOL !! Sadly, the light was hopeless, so I took a few shots thinking I ‘could do something later’ with my souvenir images !
I decided on a texture shot, this was my first attempt, probably beginners luck, I don’t seem to have achieved much success with my later attempts, after I read up on how I actually SHOULD do it !! The main thing is, I enjoy TRYING !!
Shot on a Canon EOS40D, hand held at f8, RAW file processed in Photoshop CS3, texture applied using layers and masks.
Texture was downloaded from the internet.

I’d be proud of this one B, I’m glad to read that you enjoy experimenting with the processing, it’s really paid off here, the limited pallette gives centre stage to the bloom …... superb …........ :))
