September Creative Photo Editing Challenge #1

Done for the September Creative Photo Editing Challenge #1
Journaling reads:
I ordered a packet of mixed sunflower seeds and a packet of Maximillian sunflower seeds and planted them this past Spring. They have just begun to bloom in the last week or so. Now I am trying to figure out the names of those that have come up. The closest I could come up with is that these are Velvet Queen Sunflowers and it looks like there are several varieties (according to my Google search). I love these!

Process:
1. Duplicated the large sunflower photo
2. Enhanced the duplicate to Black and White in PSE15
3. Created the Layer Mask
4. Selected around the portion of the flower I wanted full color returned and filled the selected area in using the hard round brush tool at 100%.
5. Using the dry brush tool at about 50% returned the color in the bottom half of the flower.
6. Clipped both copies of the flower to a photomask that I duplicated.
