Over exposure of a sunflower - gave a nice result from the camera- so very little editing. I prefer the rectangular view of it - with more dead space - but I think it makes a high impact square crop.
Changes were
cropped,
some sharpening,
a level change to darken the browns,
and upped the contrast a touch.
I selected this over the 'traditional sunflower against a blue sky shot. I don't think the voters will score it as well but I am interested in the reactions. Likely to be accused of over using special effects to achieve this.
I will pre-empt the probable challenge and send the original in for verification when I get home tonight.
