    Hi Neil, I really like the processing (what software did you use?). It would make a great poster size wall hanging - in the right location.

    Cheers, Richard.

    Thanks, Richard. There's a bit of a story to the processing:D I was out in the yard testing a Canon 300mm f4L I had just bought (2nd hand from the USA through Fred Miranda's site). I pointed it through the fence at a daisy bush growing on the other side of my neighbour's yard. The focus locked on the daisies, but the fence and everything in between was of course very oof. I liked something about the effect of the daisies floating in a "cloud" of bokeh (and this lens has the dreamiest bokeh I have ever seen, and I am in love with the pov it gives in close to medium range). I converted in Capture One 5, and then processed in CS3, using channels mainly, to get the daisies to separate as much as possible from the surround. I then took it into Topaz Simplify (or it might have been Clean) and used one of the filters there, fine tuning until I got this result.
