i had a nice reddish egret all ready to go and then i saw oscar's flame lily!! truly inspirational!! so i went into my little shop of horrors and created this one with another pic from saturday. used CNX and used color control points on some of the different colors in the image to change the colors of the bg. big time sharpening to add some noise then some noise reduction to smooth it out a little. a little desaturation, a little contrast and not necessarily in any of this order.
what do you think? and does metadata really matter here?:D this is supposed to be fun aint it!!?:D
