Description
I love seeing our Coneflowers (echinacea) bloom in the Springtime. Year after year they produce intensely colored blooms that light up our garden space. This single flower portrait is the result of an editing experiment in my quest to become a more skilled photo editor. The process involved isolating and refining the flower and stem, dramatically blurring the original background and using color levels to change the background palette, recombining the respective layers, and applying a mild Gaussian blur to the petal edges to softly blend them into the modified background. It was a lot of work, and a lot of fun, and I am pleased with the outcome. I hope you'll also be pleased by the product of this editing experiment.
