MY TAKE ON PHOTOGRAPHY

"The reason why we want to remember an image varies: Because we simply 'love it', or dislike it so intensely that it becomes compulsive, or because it has made us realize something about ourselves, or has brought about some slight change in us. Perhaps the reader can recall some image after seeing of which has never been quite the same."

Shoot & Edit: Week 11~Flowers EDIT

So this weeks theme is *flowers* I posted my original shot of this lovely hydrangea in the beginning of this week. Shot during our trip to Longwood Gardens back in February. This was taken using my 50mm and extention tubes. I probably should have chose a pic that required more editing. Here's what I came up with.

SOOC entry:

And my edit

Nothing spectacular, I just lightened it up a bit,  played with the colors & took out some of the imperfections on the pedals. :)

OK, here's another edit, thanks to Ashley for her very informative Dry Brush PS tutorial. I can't believe I've never played with this edit before!

    Beautiful shots! Both edits are great. The dry brush step added a bit more sharpness. Love it! :)

    It's lovely!! And I think it's wonderful that your shot didn't require too much editing; that means it was perfect to begin with!

    Love both edits - I actually think your dry brush looks great. I dont' think mine turned out nearly as good.
