I played with the color settings again, trying to isolate the yellow.
After watching a Deborah Wirsu YouTube video on thread sketching a sunflower, I decided to practice on a small scale and make some fabric postcards.

I particularly like finding flowers with friends. I photographed this pair early in the morning.

I manipulated it in Lightroom by toning down the clarity. (I love the “Clarity” feature in Lightroom.) When I increase the clarity I am amazed at the amount of detail that shows up. This time, however, I decreased the clarity as far as it could go, giving the photograph a somewhat dreamy look.
