I love the fact that these challenges are allowing me to try things I've known about but never had a reason to use...this is one of them! This photo of Sunflowers was shot on International Pinhole Photography Day, April 24th (with a body cap for my camera that emulates a pinhole camera). It's not processed much...the original is NOT ready for prime time. Sunflowers are my favorites so there's no limit to the time of year I'll have them in my house. Anyway, my thought was to make a blue/yellow gradient...here's the result:

- Applied a gradient map by fotofrank (Cyanotype, Multiply blending mode, 75% Opacity). - Applied Topaz Adjust (Dynamic Brightness, 50% Opacity). - Created the frame with a layer style by Jodi Frye (Metal). - Image from Pixabay.
I really love the way the gradient map changed this warm photo to a cool one...all the tonality in the resulting image is wonderful! Actually, the model now matches the background. The final would look great as a book cover, Sepiana! Vicky, thanks for the comment! You are very kind. Credit shared with fotofrank, the creator of this gradient.

Used a yellow/violet GM on this image taken at the park the other day to give it a more "Fallish Look". Soft light blend mode adjusted.
