Gloriosa daisy in my friend Carolyn's garden. Wasn't easy to get this shot, but luckily these are tall flowers...

PP included creating 2 HDRs from single RAW image, then combining those (1 for sky and 1 for flower). Crop. Multiple layers of dodge/burn, selective color, replace color, contrast, color sat, levels/curves. Used clone brush to clean up the edges. Resized, sharpened, saved for Web.

Pretty flower. You can tell where you processed it though...

Nice colour but it looks like the yellow has a bit of blue in it, good job, Good Luck

I like how the leaves "sprawl" across the frame in this. Also, nice color contrast

Cool take on the theme! Wish the sky were in focus but I don't know if that's possible even with a small sensor POS camera...

Your colors are quite uneven...there is a split in the petals on the left that the sky peeking through is a completely different color than the rest of your sky.
