Chrysanthemum flowers

Beautiful composition and use of color…

I just wanted that yellow flower to pop out. So, after “neutral” processing, I just applied this S-curve:

Took advantage of the lower tones of the purple flowers vice the higher tones of the yellow one to pull the purple ones down further, and push the yellow flower up a bit.

Edit: I’m too quick to post of late; regarding the image in the post I see Ireally bunched up the bright yellows. So I pulled down the right-hand control point a bit. The image posted above now reflects this correction…
