“Photoshop vs. Nature: Smack-down in the Garden!” . . . catchy right? This was our Tale’s first title.
We wanted an interesting presentation to show a sampling of post-photography color changes.
A. As the camera saw it
B. Brush, color replace
C. Adjust hue/saturation
D. Paintbucket
However, as these wonderful sunflowers grew, this working title didn’t really match the garden’s mood.
When our Garden-Enthusiast Neighbor and her husband put up this netting to protect the sunflower bed from local wildlife, the young plants looked like toddlers peeking their noses over a playpen as they grew.
Then, as the flowers inspired photographs like these . . .
. . . the gist of the tale gradually became a moment of inner conflict on the path to maturity for the young “teen”flowers.
There is a certain irony with the plot of the tale, since photographing the flowers was actually the most peaceful time of the workday!
