My entry..............
Thanks to everyone who recommended editing software last week. I did use picmonkey to crop and add some color saturation. I love how it looks, but it feels like I am cheating because this is not exactly what I snapped.
This is what I snapped below........
These hydrangeas were really quite pretty in person. I love the variation in the color from blues to pinks and purples. They aren't my flowers, darn it!! I was dog sitting when I took these. Hopefully later on I can share some flowers from my yard.
But for now ....
cheating again with some cropping and color play.
I LOVE FLOWERS and I am loving playing with the photos on picmonkey - Thanks again for the recommendation.
Had to add some butterflies to the one above!
This one (above) obviously has had no editing.
while this one has.
Beautiful Roxanne. Thank you for linking up with Your Sunday Best. :)

DeleteRoxanne, Beautiful photos! I love hydrangeas but have never grown one myself. Would love to have one in my garden someday. Thank you for visiting me! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your gorgeous photography. Happy Easter!

Thank you Sharla. Ive never grown one either but would love to have a yard full of them
DeleteI figure it is two different things entirely. I love SOOC and trying to get that perfect picture straight out of the camera, while I love playing with those pictures and turning them into works of art. You've done an excellent job of both.
ReplyDeleteThank you Teresa. You have some great photos on your blog. I had to pop over and check them out
