Description

Photograph of a Sunflower turned into abstract art with Photoshop Filter Effects. The process included first the Sunflower image set against the sky with a little green from its leaves, edited in Lightroom and then a year later during the current COVID19 learning how to use Photoshop filters effects step by step with Pixelation effect, Blur and Distort effects or a twirl to create the sense of abstract motion. Finalist in May 2020 at BetterPhoto.com as well as Honorable mention as among the Best of the Best Finalist that same month.
