Hello Friends.
I'm happy to be joining Tricia again this week for
Photo Feature Friday and Lisa for
Macro Monday. Take a few moments to stop over and see some beautiful photography. This week's assignment was flowers.
Spring is the prettiest time of the year. The earth comes alive in beautifully vibrant colors. Some are planted purposefully in well manicured gardens, while others grow randomly on the sides of the road. These delicate purple flowers grow wildly by Ohio roadways. I'm not sure what they are, but they are so pretty.
This week, I decided to play with some filters. Typically, I am a minimalist when it comes to editing photos. Let's experiment. Below is the original picture using the Macro setting on my camera.

| Original Photo |
Using PhotoScape, I experimented with different effects. Which one is your favorite?

| Color Engraved |
 |
| Fish Eye 50% |
 |
| Illusion (5) |
 |
| Newsprint (5) |
 |
| Radial Blur (5) |
MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!

I was hoping when I saw your thumbnail image that I'd find out the name of these. :) I'm over here and have some of these growing around a tree at the corner of the woods.
