I like the idea, but I'd have to brainstorm a bit to see how it could be better pulled off. The flower looks like the rising sun (which is what I think you were going after). One issue is it is far too centered. Zooming back a bit and giving some negative space would be a good idea.
You processing may have cost you a bit too. The yellows look a bit oversaturated and we are losing detail (which is why I think it looks OOF rather than actually being OOF). There also seems to be a halo around the flower perimeter. Finally there is noise in the blue sky (not uncommon at all as the blue channel is the noisiest on digital sensors). Check out Neat Image. There is a free version and after you do the standard use-it-too-much bit, it can be a very helpful tool for noise like that. |
