A field of cosmos by the river. There's a bigger field that isn't in full bloom yet, but will be the centrepiece for the autumn festival in the riverside park.

-1 exposure bias factor. Cropped to even up the horizon (rather than tilting and cropping). Sharpened, levels, resized, sharpen again.

Really interesting idea, well worked, and good result.

With that angle of curvature you could have renamed it 'the Green Planet' lol.

one of the best uses of fish-eye lens. lighting is just perfect to get all the attention to the main flower. could have cropped a little from the bottom of the frame though 8
