Peter posting a flower image? What is happening??? lol That's awesome there are still flowers blooming even with the leaves falling off the trees. Might want to check the white balance on this. Maybe a bit of burning the midtones on the flowers that are in the sun would help too. :~)

  Nicely composed scene Peter. Like it a lot. As Aimee suggested, you might cut down on the highlights a bit. Love all the light.

OK, when I get Aimee AND Dale wanting me to alter my flowers, what can I do but obey!
I can't remember when I last used the burn brush so I played around with it set at varying opacities and strengths and I hope this works for you my friends. As for the color balance Aimee, I spent way too much time messing with that and have no idea exactly what you had in mind. What I could see was the bluish gravel in the driveway so I messed with that. I even went outside to look at it but the weather is very different today so the light is not the same and and I have no idea whether this is an improvement.
In the original image I did bump up the colors considerably to give a warm summery look to tide me over until next year. Hey!, even Van Gogh's sunflowers weren't really that color!
