This photo was actually a photostacked photos of something like 19 shots using Heliconsoft photo stacking software. I’m still learning and it wasn’t the perfect photo stacked image so I processed it but I’m sure that it looks the way it does because of the stacking aside from the colors. Thank you Hanna.
wow, now I might have to look that up!! I love the effect!! Thank you for that info- I have photomatix for bracketed photos- but I love that slight blurred effect!
Well done, my friend!!! It looks like an oil painting. Must be nice to have TIME to play. LUCKY you! But really you did an outstanding job. I LOVE the softness of the colors and how they all just blend right in together. NICE! Love, Amy ❤

You should always have fun! Beautiful image – are these the actual colors?
June 8, 2015 at 6:55 pm
No not original. It was a yellow hydrangea though but I took liberties. 🙂
June 8, 2015 at 7:09 pm
A beautiful image, Laura!

Photoshop makes great magics
June 9, 2015 at 8:22 am
Yes indeed! Thank you. 🙂
June 9, 2015 at 2:08 am
This is lovely, soft and ethereal. Didn’t know Photoshop could be so creative! ;o)
June 9, 2015 at 8:23 am

Hauntingly lovely.
June 9, 2015 at 9:43 am
Well hello there, thank you!
June 9, 2015 at 9:47 am
Still wanna learn photoshop.
June 9, 2015 at 9:52 am
It’s handy!
June 9, 2015 at 9:54 am
Expensive, too, though I have see it for sale in “the cloud” for about 20 a month US.
June 9, 2015 at 10:15 am
I have the cloud. I pay $9.99/month for photoshop and Lightroom
June 9, 2015 at 8:23 pm
Will look into it.
June 9, 2015 at 8:32 pm
I would do some classes though as Photoshop is not intuitive.
June 9, 2015 at 8:33 pm
Ah, well, okay, then, I understand that. I did buy the workbook for dummies guide. on photoshop 7
June 9, 2015 at 10:04 pm
Good for you. I didn’t know anything either when I started. I can’t imagine anyone learning it without some sort of instruction
June 9, 2015 at 11:18 am
Beautiful Laura 😀
June 9, 2015 at 1:20 pm
Thank you Irene 🙂
June 9, 2015 at 1:06 pm
This is gorgeous, Laura! You really captured the beauty of the hydrangea :-).
June 9, 2015 at 1:20 pm
Thank you so much Pam. 🙂 I almost deleted the photo. I’m trying my had at photo stacking and it wasn’t that great of one….so I processed it! lol
June 9, 2015 at 3:09 pm
I’m glad you didn’t delete. I think the hydrangea is difficult because of the depth of the flower. Your focus stacking did wonders!
June 9, 2015 at 3:49 pm
Thank you! I think it helped too.
June 9, 2015 at 4:50 pm
lovely!
June 9, 2015 at 5:37 pm

Interesting process
June 13, 2015 at 7:23 am
Thanks. It was a photostacking process that I’ve been trying and then I processed it to try and make art out of it. Fun stuff!
June 15, 2015 at 3:58 pm
I have never photoshopped any of my photos. But your picture looks wonderful.
June 15, 2015 at 4:29 pm
Thanks Tommy. Glad you like it. 🙂
