ok, so this has had the most post-work i have ever done on a flower photo.
besides the usual auto-colour and contrast adjustments, i added an unsharpen mask, which is the first time i ever used it, so i'm not sure if it has worked, then i created a layer mask to blur the background, then blended 'multiply'..
i'm quite happy with the result, but if anybody thinks something isn't quite right, please tell me..
Well - i'm sure you know how i'm not a big fan of blur - but actually i think this works rik. Maybe a tad tad tad (tiniest teeniest weeniest bit) over softened but not tooooooo much. I love how the angle and focus on the flower anyhow allow the rest to REALLY blur! and the fact there is bot hthe flower and the bud in shot - adds something to it. a pair!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
