November 2007 Finalist
Re-worked and resubmitted

These Petunia's were sitting out in the front a friend's house and thought they were neat how she planted them in the stump.
Comment's welcome and have a GREAT DAY!

6/26/07 7:48:31, 1/45 sec, 13.40 aperature, 33.00mm, ISO 80, Daylight.

Applied image, multiplied, masked two photo's together, the sky and flowers.
Added a light red layer, overlay 50% opacity, adjusted brightness and saturation. Burn tool shadows 25%, cloned out a couple small dead blooms.
History brush was used through out the editing.

I'd forgotten how pretty and delicate pansies can be till I saw this wonderful image!
Peaches, you do such fine (and time-consuming) DD work ...
Sure hope the judges appreciate the results here as much as the rest of us do!

Mary I do too LOL, The first one I did was POTD at photographyvoice.com in July, so was proud of that.
I think the flowers are petunia's, course what do I know, I don't know my flowers very well LOL! I always have to ask Sam.

  Beautiful image Nancy, frame filling color & very pleasing to the eye..
Some interesting technique. I must admit that photo manipulation of this sort is foreign to me. I've been spending all my spare time just getting the nature shot in the first place..Getting the shot & simply processing what I shoot in raw takes all my time. I do admire your creativity Nancy, excellent results.

  What a pretty and creative interpretation of a common flower. Very nice photo art. The little slice of wheat/oats?? in the background at the bottom compliments the the vibrant pastels above.
