I decided to leave this shot as is except for a "soft light" layer at 50% to make the blue pop just a tad bit. That's it! It was a really, really beautiful day! I was sitting in my garden when I took this shot. How blessed am I!
As mentioned in my previous post, I used Kim Klassen's textures on this one. After I took this shot, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. And that's a rare occurrence. This is also my submission for Kim's Texture challenge this week - all about gardening. These are flowers from my own garden.
Here are my layers for editing beginning from the bottom:
1. copy original photo layer as "screen" at 60% opacity
2. copy original photo layer as "soft light" at % opacity
3. Kim's Warm Sun texture "soft light" at 100% opacity. Used soft brush at 60% opacity on the flowers.
4. copy the Warm Sun texture "soft light" at 30% opacity.
5. Kim's Sweet Tart texture "soft light" at 100% opacity
6. Solid color - aqua green (71a197) "soft light" at 73% opacity
7. Solid color - navy blue (11314c) "overlay" at 20% opacity
8. copy original photo layer as "soft light" at 80% opacity and vignette with a dark green color.
Have a great day, friends!

Love the textured shot and I also love that you kept your first shot really clean. The soft light addition is perfect.
Those are so beautiful. My favorite would be the flower shot. It's so pretty! I'm starting my own challenge this Saturday, and would love to see you there!
