Yellow Marigolds (Posterized Photo)

Yellow Marigolds (Posterized Photo) Originally uploaded by randubnick

This is another photo from this week's visit to Meadowbrook Farms. These marigolds were on a cart full of many kinds of flowers. For this image, I cropped the photo to focus just on the yellow marigolds, and then decided to posterize the image in Painter IX. But after I posterized the image, I was unhappy with the composition. I struggled to get the composition I wanted, trying different ways of cropping the image. I guess I wanted to include every single marigold, and was being too hesitant about the cropping. But for the sake of the composition, I finally had to be decisive and make the cut. So I did, and here is the final version.
