Oh I miss growing BIG Sunflowers like that! We used to grow them every year but I grew tired of it and planted Boxwood instead. LOL! Quite a trade off wouldn't you say?
Bee-utiful photo!
In our house the saying would be 'Summertime and the living is hectic!'
My favorite flower is the Sunflower! This photo looks fantastic... like one of those at a stock photo website. I'd make this my desktop photo if you had a full size one to share. :D
Yeah, it does look a little surreal but it's real. I forgot to mention that the original photo was bad. Too dark. I ran TRA's Ying/Yang, lightening around the leaves and the flower itself. So that's that. Then I put Michelle to work. It was so difficult pushing that button and all . . .
COOL! Another blog by Kate and this one is all your gorgeous shots!! Great!! Thanks for the tip off, I wasn't aware of this blog!! Maybe I should read the stuff on the side of your Country Girl blog better- but I usually just grab the posts and that's it!!! :-)) Very impressive photo Kate- as usual!!

I absolutely love this one. It is so good it looks fake. The techniques you used on it are great. I just can not get over how fantastic it is.
