Spring

Except for a hard freeze a couple of nights ago it is already spring here. This is a shot of my front yard with a native hornbeam leafed out and native chickasaw plums and dried grasses in the background. I used the Orton effect (modified with a -100 clarity layer). :S3:

Hi Cheryl, you know - I am a big fan of the clarity slider going to the left! This looks great with the hints of fog and soft organic feel. Bring on the spring!

Cheryl, you are certainly well skilled with the Orton effect. What can I say except this has got to be one of my favorites from you. Very serene and peaceful in composition and processing.

Cheryl, love your version of the Orton effect. This one looks like a painting.
