I wanted to see what it would be like to bring out the dandilions like a flash would but reflecting more of the tones of the sky. By masking off the tops of dandilions down and adjusting brightness up then adding red tones to the hue. Then I masked off the lower part of the stems and adjusted the brightness and contrast back down a couple notches. This really brought out the tops of the dandilions. Loved the sky just the way it was, beautiful!
