    SunFlowers... Arty?

    I wonder what Mr Van Gogh would have to say about this. I decided to have a little play with the radial blur filter in PS as the background to the original image was a little messy with other flower heads and background distractions.
    As always your thoughts and comments would be most welcome.

    Nice, I've had a go with that filter myself, very fun.

    I would have messed up the whole thing, Peter...!! Did you have to cut and paste the two flowers on top? Just curious...

    I wonder how it would look with two spirals?

    I took the original image from LR to PS, added a layer used this layer to add the blur then using a mask revealed the underlying flower heads.

    Peter this has got potential, I just don't know if the composition works for me.

    Definitely worth pursuing though.

    Interesting end product Peter although I don't know that I wouldn't prefer a more simple lens blur. If there was only one flower so that the radial was centred on the centre of the flower then it would work better but that's just my opinion for what it's worth.
