RISING SUN-flower

Explore #1 on November 21, 2008. It was a short lived #1 spot and now lives at #13, but I'll take it.

Another shot from my trip to the sunflower fields in Wailua. I've got a bunch of neat shots from there but I don't know how many I'll post here. I think maybe one more is enough sunflowers. Is this considered bokeh? I think that's just blurred stuff. Anyhow, have a good weekend everyone.

 

3 exposures (-2,0,+2) tone mapped with photomatix. Imported tone mapped file and the -2 exposure into CS2. Used the -2 to correct some halo around the lower plants. Used the Polygonal Lasso Tool to make the sun rays then filled them with white and put that layer on overlay. Also added a curves layer to just the sun rays. Then a layer for curves, saturation for the overall image. Finally I applied an unsharp mask on just the sunflower and plants below.
