Hi all,
After editing a flower photo today in photoshop CS3 I decided a soft focus look would be nice. However, I was unhappy with the bright section above the flower. As I wanted to have that section match more closely the green background with the "gradient" feel to it, this is what I did:
1. Sampled the "greenish" colour using the dropper tool (foreground colour)
2. Made a selection from the top of the petal and around the bright section
3. Feathered the selection by 15 px
4. Applied a linear gradient from left to right (foreground colour)
Is there a betterway to do this in order to match the background shades of green?
The before and after photos can be seen here:

Many thanks in advance,,
