Focusing on Life - 34 of 52

This week, Sally asked us to "add something" to our photos.  She wanted us to use editing programs to add filters or effects to our photos.

It took a while for me to find a picture to play with, but when I came across this sunflower, I knew it would be perfect.


It is a little over exposed, so I decided  to add a bit of vibrance.


Then I decided to subtract some saturation.


Finally, I decided to add a bit of the yellow back in.


Please take a look at Sally's blog to see what the other participants added to their photos.

    Isn't this fun? Love the final effect. Sometimes I forget all the steps to get the effect I wanted!
