Description
I was so lucky to receive this lovely organic sunflower bouquet from a very dear friend who knows how much I love flowers and that I can't shoot flowers that have been treated with chemicals. Other lovely flowers in the bouquet include celosia, zinnias, and strawflowers, and some others I don't know the name of, but they are all beautiful.
We put the bouquet on a table on our deck facing the woods, with beautiful late afternoon light. I took many, many photos with different lenses, mostly macro shots, but I wanted to capture the beauty of the entire bouqet so I shot this one with my 24-70mm lens at 70mm.
Processed in Photoshop with Topaz Impression with a background texture added to enhance the painterly look.
Thank you so much, my dear friend! You brought me hours and hours of pure joy! More images to come!
