Before and After

Isn't this a pretty plant? I've always loved these Angel Trumpet flowers. They grow really well here too. And bloom in the spring and early summer. Like now. When we don't have very nice light. Because of the clouds (remember June gloom?)



So I played with the lighting a bit, added some "sunshine" and faded the edges a bit. Do you like how it turned out?


For this shot, I used a Canon Rebel XTi with a 50mm 1.8 lens and I used Photoshop Elements to edit.

If you like my shots, you need to visit Pixel Perfect for more before and after fun! And if you want to play along all you have to do is show us your SOOC (straight out of camera) shot and then the edited version. Link back to Pixel Perfect and link up your post below! Feel free to share with us your editing program and camera gear too!

    Wow, very fancy. Are you going to start touching up your garden pics as well??? (Just joking.) It really does look beautiful.
