Sunburst
Uploaded: April 22, 2008
This is a photo of two dandelions that I took with my macro lens. I changed the tint on the background and played with the paint daub filter in Photoshop.

Wonderful image Martie!! I took one similiar and named it "Sunbrust" also. I like what you did with changing the background color. I use PSElements - can you explain how you achieved this? #906103Martie Last April 22, 2008
I checked out your "Sunburst," too. Nice job! In PS CS3 there is a filter called "Paint Daubs." When you select it you get lots of choices for brush type, stroke and thickness. I tried a lot of different combinations until I found one that I liked. Thanks for commenting! #5823700Nadine A. Lewis April 22, 2008
