Very nice Sunflower pic. Tried a couple of different ideas. First is Mike Finn's Paint with Texture Photoshop action and the second is a watercolor.

Nice one Grant you seem have got the handle on impressionist ( i still struggle but have a mess with it once in a blue moon lol )

Skip, Mikes actions are great arent they ? your watercolour wins it for me though

Thanks Sylvia a mixture of fractalius and the cut out filter, finished with a texture ( if i remember right )

Shari super rendition and very yellow

thanks all

I love sunflowers! Here's my attempt after I fussed with it in Corel Photo-paint, the Gimp and FotoSketcher.

I think the Sunflower is my favorite flower... Youthful California memories!

[palms]

I like the colour and the text Nasturtium very nice

Ol Baldy great sky we have some weird ones but i dont think we have had one like that just yet !
Sunflowers are happy flowers dont you think ?

[lkroll]

And a surprisingly unpredictable result. lol

Thanks for the play Palms. Very cool results so far.

Another lover of sunflowers here -- used to walk by them on the way to school.

I like Sunflowers too Carolyn. Sunflowers perfume use to be my favorite as well (my girlfriend at the time use to use it). Anyway, went droste for this one (embrace the zany I say; lol).

[lkroll]

What the hey; had to extract the sunflower to make the droste, so decided to repackage that effort into this seamless texture too.

[palms]

nice C.J.
Lyle love the droste one

good job i have the sunflowers the sun seems to have disappeared for a while (usual summer in other words)

i love the giant ones. good pic

a little filter forge (one of my filters, unpublished) and a little post work in psp.

[palms]

great ones Janet and Craig, the sunflowers have almost finished now so the seed heads will be saved for the birds in winter

And if it wasn't for all the rain we are having there would be some new flower shots lol

I like all the renditions, but this one is my favorite!!!

Thanks Tennie. Mathmap is a GIMP plugin, but they also ported it for MACs via the Cocoa project (know very little about the Cocoa project since I'm a PC guy).
