While I’m sitting in this very hot house trying to cope with the heat, I thought we could cool ourselves, even if it’s only psychologically, with a “cool” image. I’ve always found that working with snow is quite difficult in terms of exposure. I’m looking forward to seeing how you work with it. Click, download, play!

Loved all your plays from last week! I really should take your cue and try some cropping this time.

Awesome photo Laura! Didn’t need to do too much to it, ’cause it’s cool as is.
Sharpened it up a bit, added a high pass filter (50.0) overlay, a bit of a vignette and voila.

Purple is my FAVORITE color - I loved this picture how it was!
But I played around a bit to “pop” out the color…and cropped it some. I’m not a great cropper…but have I mentioned I love purple?

Here’s my try:

Here’s what I did. Cropped, cross processing action, high pass filter on just the flowers then soft light blend mode.
