This is an image of one of the Hibiscus flowers from our front yard. It bloomed after the winter cold departed the area and I was able to capture it on the first morning of the bloom, as they don’t last that long, but continue to produce blooms from the bush.
Made it over to Ding Darling NWR today for some shooting. The birds were out when I went through the first time, so I did some blurs for this weeks theme. But as I haven't processed them yet, I will put this up. The second run through at noon was more productive for birds and one gator. I would call it a less than average bird day, after the four hour drive over there. :o But I got a few images to work on. As for this one ...
Modifications included; in PS4, Accented Edges, after which I extracted it and put it into a black background. Then switching to Topaz, I used Topaz Clean, Simplify and Detail. I then switched back to PS4 for Angled Strokes, Diffused Glow and Gaussian Blur.
Enjoy!
