Connecticut

Last Year's Photo

Photo a Day, 13 June 2006...Perhaps I should wait to comment on my own photos for now on ;) I'm posting my comments here on the 14th as the 13th was a really busy day between doctors appointments, errands, and helping out with an ice cream social at school. I bought this new flower at the garden shop and shot a few shots quickly before running to the ice cream social. Last night when I looked at the photos I had I didn't like any of them. I liked this one's comp the best BUT it had a really DRAB and boring grey background... changing to b/w really lost the beauty of the fiery flower - so I quickly changed just the background and posted it... It is MUCH better with the blue - I just had to come clean though ;)...

Title Font is Diana

ACR, Used Select>Color Range to select grey background and then a Selective Color adjustment layer to change the drab gray background to blue, Resize, Framing, Sharpening - Photoshop CS2

Good point of view. I like the way the light melts into the dark.

The flower part has a really neat color and design. The stem and base reminds me of some old movie ? and looks like it is getting ready to eat the flower.
