SUNflower
The original was of the sunflower blossom, glow balls and cake decors on black velvet. I've added more 'stars', layered the sunflower with effects, and added flares that I created myself.
"Then I arise, and climbing Heaven's blue dome,
I walk over the mountains and the waves,
Leaving my robe upon the ocean foam;
My footsteps pave the clouds with fire; the caves
Are filled with my bright presence, and the air
Leaves the green Earth to my embraces bare.
The sunbeams are my shafts, with which I kill
Deceit, that loves the night and fears the day;
All men who do or even imagine ill
Fly me, and from the glory of my ray
Good minds and open actions take new might,
Until diminished by the reign of Night."
From "Hymn of Apollo"
by Percy Bysshe Shelley
