Default Dried Poppy Pod

Photographers Comments
While shooting some runaway tulips, running wild through the grass, Im finding lots of tulip pods, which is a promise of new flowers to shoot

I keep coming back to look at this poppy pod. It has the quality of a free hand drawing. I like the colours and textures. I'd be interested to know what processing you employed for this

to be truthful Maureen....the photo was far from sharp but I played with it, in working with 'layers'. I used extra sharpening on some textured parts and also brought out more of the gold. Again, I love working with photos that are not perfect in quality...like the process of redeeming.
