Not so sunny sunflower

[masque]

Fresh from posting my photo of a rain smashed plan(e)t yesterday, here is another plant produced in the same way. Increased contrast, reduced saturation, canvas texture overlay using 'multiply' blend mode. etc.

Could you post a the original and then a few of the in between steps? Great effect.

A few stages for the sunflower image. 1.Original snap. 2.Poster edges filter applied in Photoshop. Image 3 would have been an intermediary step using NIK filters in Colour efex to enhance detail and contrast but it will not upload for reasons I can't guess at. 4, Canvas texture applied, multiply blending mode and selectively removed to reduce it's intensity. Obviously the image was cropped and the black made stronger etc to finish off.

Thank you for that Derek, the finished product is great.
