Nice composition of corn and straw rope. The corn-hair in the middle is in great focus, but I think I would go ahead and pluck it. :)

You are correct about it looking great as a water color, but it is also a first rate photo. Thanks for sharing the original with us.

This is beautiful. I read your PP steps, and I can't really see the glamour glow and watercolor filter. That's good, but I don't know how you did it. The shot looks very natural. No, actually it doesn't, it looks much better than natural. I'm envious.

As Mark-A said...

It is an extremely beautiful picture. I too am curious what it looks like without the water color. The only problem I have with the watercolor is the edges where the petals meet the background and the stem. It doesn't look as smooth as the edges of the petals within the flower. I assume it is simply caused by the watercolor filter.

coming back...

Seeing the thumbnail just makes me want to come back and say again, great job, beautiful picture.

Yes I too would have liked to seen it without the watercolour filter, whilst it makes the inner parts of the petals look soft and dreamy it has made the edges look hard and almost like they have been drawn in with a pen. This detracts from the image in the same way really heavy halos would.

Having said all that I could see this hanging on a wall on canvas as it is very pleasing from an artistic POV.
