Crocus

I added my soft fix preset in Fractalius. I esp. liked the hint of orange showing through. I chose not to give it a border. Some jpeg. compression is showing.

I like it D I might crop a bit from the left to make it more off-center. Like how the high key changes just a bit from right to left. You are combining work and fun, lucky you to have a garden center:)

Another gorgeous sign of spring! I saw three crocus up in my backyard today at lunch - will have to get out and do something with them tonight.

I especially like how soft this is yet there is still details showing. The bright green against the white makes for a great anchor for the image.

Thanks ladies. I appreciate the kind comments.
Jackie, I actually found this Crocus while walking my dog.:) I couldn't pass it up.

Just love the softness you achieved with your preset, denise. So delicate. The colors and the perspective are great. I think a tighter crop might make it appear a tad unblanced!:)

Soft, sweet, and a little bit sexy too.

Denise,

Greetings. I really like this. The colors! I'm kinda a sucker for orange-blue contrast... The faintest of blue to the background (I found a 230 -230 - 238 rgb fill layer, multiply blend at 13% opacity, masked subject, worked for me, though it unsoftened a bit.)... just a thought.
