Paper by name only - Real in every other way [Contest Finalists August 2005]
Uploaded: August 25, 2005 00:14:58
This is another paper daisy against a beautiful blue sky!!
Tripod used - manual settings!! UV filter.
Some minor cloning to remove some background images but little other PS manipulation!!
The flower gets its name from the fact that the petals are like paper. This one I have growing in a pot in my garden!!
