I'm Just a Common Freesia

Uploaded: April 16, 2008

Description

Digital Darkroom entry
I used Nik's Colour Efex Pro 3 and the filter "Classical Soft Focus" to give it that dreamy look.
I uploaded the wrong photo, one was with a frame and the other was without.

1/125 : f7.1 : 1S0 100 : Bounced flash : Spot metering.
My entry for My BetterPhoto Club Weekly Challenge. I found the wee
little flower by the gate, Freesias are my favorite, the perfume is delightful. ~Pat

I like both versions Pat, but I think I prefer this one, the eye is more focused on the fressias without the frame. What is the weekly challenge, haven't seen that? #902154

HI there Audrey, I was undecided, Graham liked the one with frames so di did both but now have decided I like this one, great you like the music, it is one way to compromise as you know I love my music.

I joined a BP club that have challended eack week, no prized but it gives me a goal to work towards. #5796832

Hello there Jay and Audrey, thank you for popping in, it is wonderful that you did.

I prefer the plain frame too! I agree
the other frame distracted Jay, thank you very much.

Great you like the music Jay, I used to upload it on BP until I got into strife so upload the music up on my own site and link to it. ~Pat

I saw your other image in the regular contest entry today and the border also bothered me a little....not to beat a dead horse BUT I think this one is amazing. And I agree Freesia smells wonderful but you made it look beautiful too. #5797561

I agree, I prefer this one too. It looks like you used some sort of painter filter, it looks so soft and dreamy. I love it! :) #5799391
