Flowers of Gold — bright yellow flowers against a sunny blue sky [1]

These are some golden-yellow flowers in my aunt and uncle’s yard. These were low to the ground; I had to lay in the grass to snap this, potentially exposing myself to pesticides and bugs. It’s worth it for my craft, of course!

Buy a 4*6 copy for $0.95 (USA only). Lustre finish. After adding, go to your shopping cart [2].

Source image [5]. I added a lot of contrast and brightened the sky. That was the hardest part, because I wanted the sky to be uniformly and realistically lightened, so I analyzed the dodging by setting the brightness level on the image to be very dark (with an overlay layer), and then looked for dark patches, which I’d dodge or clone out.
