    Whoa!! I half expected the Alien to jump out of this thing.:D

    All kidding aside, this is a wonderful picture. Beautiful PP work on a subject that draws you in and won't turn you loose. One of your best, brother.clap.gif

    Take care,

    Tom
    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks, Tom. I took this picture a couple of hours ago. I did not bring home any good photographs with me from my trip to L.A. so back to the sunflower backyard for me. :D This one is still an unopened sunflower so I titled it "blossoming". Maybe in a day or two it will open up fully proud of its colors and detail for all the bees to feast in. rolleyes1.gif

    I really like this in BW. Never would of thought of doing that when there's so much color in a subject like this. Great work thumb.gif

    Thanks, Mary. I decided to go with b&w so I can emphasize the patterns on the budding flower. The colored version is OK, too but not as effective when I took out the color data from it.

    Nothing special on the lighting setup, Juano. This was shot outdoors in late afternoon sunlight.

    This the SOOC file for this, Juano.
