Flowers for Mommy


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Flowers for Mommy
Flowers for Mommy
f/6.3, 1/420, ISO 160, natu light on partly cloudy afternoon around 4 p.m. I was trying to get some photos of the mountains, but couldn't get the composition I was looking for. Meanwhile, my daughter was bring me bouquets of dandelions she had picked for me. When she went to pick more, I turned around and started taking pics of her instead of the mountains. (She is in her ballet outfit as we just got done with class.) Desat all but flowers, then converted to sepia in PS Elements.

  This is FANTASTIC!
I love this.
I can't imagine how long this took to edit.
It's well worth the effort, though.
Best wishes on this wonderful work.
