 Flowers outside my friend Kate's place, shot against a background of grass and concrete. Picked the subject and background colors with this project in mind. I had them from another angle which would have been a better/more unusual presentation, but the focus was too far off.

Cropped/resized. Used a single Hue/Saturation adjustment layer and de-saturated the Greens and Yellows; one pass with USM at 66%, 0.6 dia, TH=5.

Could have used a polarizing filter on this one to reduce refelctions on those petals. I have two of these hanging off the front of the house. These plants look awesome, don`t they?

Bad picture for this challenge. Crop is too tight, you have stray reds, stray browns, and a bunch of blue on the bottom right.
