These "yesterday blooms" look like a paper mache sculpture to me.
I found them by the lake shore on an afternoon hike with my Aussie.
I'm just on cloud nine when I find small wonders in nature, especially when it's cold.
Turn a bare winter landscape
into a bright shade of spring!
- Begin with a curves adjustment found just below the layers palette to brighten your hues.
- Add a shade of sunshine by duplicating your image. Set the duplicated layer to screen or hard light and adjust the opacity to your liking.
- To soften the contrast and shadows add the Enchanted Texture on a blending mode of overlay at 100% opacity.
- Duplicate the texture layer and change this top layer's blending mode to darker color. I slid my opacity down to 20%.
Take a photo challenge too!
