Poinsettia

I think this is going to be my holiday card image this year.

And now I’m done.  Same character from about age 2 to 18.

Five ages now.  I think at 16 she might just be on the swim team.

Now 4 ages.  I bet she’s a good swimmer by age 13.

Daffodil

Daffodill
Open in Photoshop.  Auto contrast, auto color, auto tone–hey, that’s weird.  The auto tone made the blossoms look great, but the background look blue.  So, then I masked out the blossom and used the auto tone on that, but only used the auto contrast and auto color on the background, with just a hint of desaturation.

I love daffodils.  They’re my favorite flower, even though generally I’m not a huge fan of yellow.  But on daffodils, I make an exception.  I’m usually disappointed in my attempts at daffodil photography (they never seem to want to face the camera the right way) but I think I like this shot.  It looks cheerful, like a daffodil should.  🙂
