Description
This was taken shortly after the picture of that dragonfly I posted. It rained about 4 or 5 minutes after I took this picture, and I though that the the dark sky kinda suited it. Though I wished that the daisy was brighter.

I edited this with Lightroom 2 and photoshop. I used a little recovery, some fill light and I changed the temperature. I opened it up in photoshop, added an 50% gray overlay layer and painted white and black (at about 40% Opacity controlled by pen pressure) to get the desired effect. This works WAY better than dodging and burning.

I have three versions of this picture to be posted:

Original: [link]
Photoshop version: [link]

Let me know what you think!
