These are some planted wildflowers in our backyard. I created a blurry layer, then with masking I selectively sharpened certain key areas. Finally, I applied a watercolor filter.

Thanks for looking.

Very nice image Raymond, I really like the processing on this and it is a great image to start off with so the processing just makes it shine. Good work. Jack

This is lovely. The diagonal stems of the flowers adds so much to the composition, and the white flowers in the corner completes a perfect image.

flowers in the bottom left corner. Fine art, Raymond.
