playing with photos in photoshop: poppies, digital image version
I was really disappointed with the photos I'd taken of the poppy field, they were bad - it was so dramatic and that didn't fully come out in the pictures.
This is an experiment in photoshop using various tools under the Adjust options plus a few from filters. Brightness and Contrast, Hue and Saturation, Posterise, Dry Brush, Paint Daubs, Ink outlines, Find Contours, paint bucket, dodge and burn tools - selecting parts of the image, erasing, cropping .......
The result still isn't great! I needed a better photo to start with - maybe I'll get out to take some more with the 'best' camera instead of the compact.

I think your result has lots of potential. I love the brightness of the colours and contrasts in it.
I often play around with images to see what changes in colours point me in another direction. While clear images tempt us, others have surprises waiting in store.
very true Jeanette - it's all too easy to get bogged down with too much detail when working with photos - 'bad' ones can sometimes lead on to interesting work
