Sunday, April 7, 2024 - Luv2shoot - 04-07-2024 Blessings to all on this beautiful Sunny Sunday. All the trees are blossoming, it is just beautiful around here. Yesterday's SMILE ONE SATURDAY FLICKR challenge was "blossoms".   I thought about posting some blossoms that I photographed last year and didn't know how I could make the image clever or original.  So, I decided to use one of last year's photos and just add some artistic flair. You know my weakness is my passion.  I figured all of the blossom photos would look alike on the FLICKR stream, and I think I was right, except a few. So, here is to something different.  Topaz was used for the manipulation.  Have a great day all. lorell RE: Sunday, April 7, 2024 - Dave - 04-07-2024 Hi Lorell. I'm pleased that your weather has been nice, - not at all what news reports led me to believe. Impressive photo: nice soft background that makes the COI obvious, faultless composition as always, spot-on values, muted but pleasing colors. In comparison, my photo of a neighbor's sweet pea blossoms illustrates my weakness  of overprocessing...     I've posted a new photo in my WhatIzIt? thread. RE: Sunday, April 7, 2024 - Man From Ironbark - 04-07-2024 Both lovely photos. I believe you both have composed and processed very well. Think Lorell's is a magnolia? Dug this sparrowhawk under the grape vines out of my archives.
