Poppy in my gardens at the studio.
PP included: crop, selective layers of Color/Silver Efex Pro (glamour glow, tonal contrast, bi-color), gaussian blur with selective eraser, sponge brush for sat/desat, replace/selective color, levels/curves, sharpen, clone & eraser brush to clean up a couple of small areas with artifacts from tonal contrast layer, resize, NI, save for Web.
Of course the inspiration for this came from  ursula. Her poppy shot is one of my all time favorite images, so I had to grow some and try to find some of the same magic that she did. I'm nowhere close, but I am pleased with how this turned out.

| What a beautiful example of narrow DOF. It's a standout on the page. Had I not known, I'd think "ursula." Way to go. Hope it does well. Good luck. |
