joining in with mona's picturesque: floral love this week.
daisies are everywhere this time of year,
and i thought i would share two favorites of mine ...
both are 'before' and 'after' a bit of editing.
we went 'flower shopping' this week,
and this first gerbera daisy was a beauty!
the 'before' of both of these images are pretty much 'sooc',
{straight out of the camera}
other than removing a little bit of 'noise'.
the second ones are 'after' a bit of editing fun!
to see more fantastic florals, and to join in with one of yours,
just click on over to mona's floral love!
looking forward to seeing you there!
have a blessed weekend!

here is the second set ...
and yes, these are the actual colors of the flowers in the 'before' image!
a sweet friend gave them to me for my birthday ...
very colorful, yes?!
happy flowers, i'd say!
i would sure love your thoughts on the 'after' image.
i was just having some fun playing around with the tones,
and this is what i ended up with!

ReplyDeleteI know I say the same every single week but i have no other words to describe your work of art.
The third one is my favorite of these!
Thank you for joining Floral Love dear!
how sweet of you, mona! it's interesting, but i didn't think the third one would be an image people would really be drawn to!
DeleteLol, well, it looks like bright colors are still in, and I was wrong! thank you so much for coming by!! xoxo
All of these are just gorgeous Deborah!! Now when is/was your birthday? Mine was the 23. :-) I especially love all of the various shades and tones of the desaturated daisy photo at the bottom - it is so soothing. Thank you for stopping over to visit. Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeletethank you, beverly! oh, my birthday was in march, and these flowers were very special ... they also lasted for quite awhile! thank you for your thoughts on that last image, too! you have a wonderful weekend, as well ... hoping it doesn't rain and storm as much as we're hearing! well, at least we have monday to look forward to ... cooler and sunnier!! xoxo
DeleteWonderful flowers! I love the bright colours in the third photo.
ReplyDeleteyes, indeed, those colours certainly would brighten anyone's day ... thank you so much, gunilla!

DeleteBeautiful! I love the tones in the second picture. I'd put that on a canvas and hang it!
ReplyDeletethanks so much, heather, and you have a few i'd love to put on canvas and hang, as well!! :)
DeleteI can't choose -- but Okay -- because I am a lover of color I LOVE number 3 photo.. but my heart today needs number 1. photo. That is my favorite today.. Yes indeed number 1... is a keeper or number 2. and made into a very large wall art!
ReplyDeleteHugs
thank you, kristeen! i hope things are okay ... i do know that flowers tend to make me perk up and feel better when things aren't going all too well! so glad i had what your heart needed in the first photo! blessings to you! xoxo
DeleteLove the original colors...very vibrant! I love daisies! But I also love what you have done to them too!
