How Do You Like Your Hostas?

[SandeeWig]

A couple images taken in my garden yesterday; messed around with processing them a bit.

I hope you enjoy.

I'm not one to do a lot of selective coloring, but this one just begged for it, so I obliged.



One of these days, I'll get a good waterdrop shot. For now, I'll take this.


Thanks for looking! Have a preference?

Great. I love the 2nd one!

I think you need to do more selective coloring. It is truly wonderful.

Swanner & FTBOAH - Thank you so much.

I love selective coloring when it works. So often it doesn't, or is overdone. When it's subtle, it's pretty cool. Thank you both for your comments.

b/w w/ selective color: 1
full color: 1

Worthy of a botanical society promotional poster, I say.

I usually cut the flower off of my hostas, but you have made me rethink that! Great picture!

Thank you srbloom. Might I ask why you cut off the flower?

I like them both. They both have a different mood and temperature :-)

Thank you Vitasamb! I appreciate you commenting. Welcome to DPS!

Thought I'd share one more...

This is the third photo I took yesterday. A single rose had bloomed so beautiful, and with my custom white balance from a product shoot earlier in the day, it made the pink flower appear orange.

This is straight out of camera.
