I love sunflowers and have been planting them in my garden ever since we moved to the mountains 5 years ago. A neighbor kindly gave me some seeds of a perennial variety and I was anxious to see how they would turn out. I am still completely amazed that one tiny seed can produce so much beauty and so many opportunities to multiply.
The original photo was a little fuzzy so I had some fun with it in Photoshop Elements. I found a beautiful free texture via flickr and applied it to the picture for a more dramatic effect. I love how it turned out.

The texture is actually a really beautiful picture taken by Beth Gray, a photographer from Texas. Here is the original picture.
Isn’t it marvelous? I really love the colors. It’s a great shot. Thanks for sharing your talent @bethers! Do check out Beth’s flickr, website and etsy store.
Have a great day everyone! Go out and enjoy the sunshine if you can.
