Description

Canon EF100mmMacroL, F6.3, 1/1600, ISO1250 Sometimes it's just fun to play in PS, not knowing what the end result will be. I began by editing as I normally do using a plugin iCorrect Edit Lab and sharpening with Topaz Sharpen AI. I then decided to add a few layers of color, each time adjusting the opacity and erasing away some of each layer with the eraser tool, concentrating on the area over the rose. I added a grunge layer but lowering the opacity way down just to give the image a touch of texture. I then fine tuned the image in Nik Color Efex Pro4. I liked the result so saved it.
