[Luv2shoot]

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.

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.

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.
