Here's a photo edited using a combination of my Lightroom Presets and Photoshop Actions. I think I may have gone overboard post processing this one but here's a quick run down of how it was made.
I imported this photo into Lightroom and applied the Cherry Sunset Sensation preset . This changed up the orangey tones of the sunset to more of a cherry red color and made adjustments to the lighting of the photo. I also manually reduced the clarity to give this photo a softer feel and used split toning to add a slight bluish cast to the shadows.
I then brought the photo into Photoshop and selectively 'dodge and burned' (lighten + darkened) areas of the photo. Many people will do this manually however with landscape photos it may be difficult darkening tree branches, jagged rocks etc. As such I used a technique called 'luminosity masking' (supported in my Photoshop Actions) to automatically select out the darker and lighter parts of the photo so that I could just paint over the mask with my desired light/dark brush affecting only these areas.
And that's it! I know it may sound super confusing or overwhelming but in my future photos I promise I'll go more into these techniques and you'll get the hang of it in no time! :)
As always this photo is free for you to download and play around with as per its CC licence.

Le nuvole
Vanno
vengono
ogni tanto si fermano
e quando si fermano
sono nere come il corvo
sembra che ti guardano con malocchio
Certe volte sono bianche
e corrono
e prendono la forma dell'airone
o della pecora
o di qualche altra bestia
ma questo lo vedono meglio i bambini
che giocano a corrergli dietro per tanti metri
Certe volte ti avvisano con un rumore
prima di arrivare
e la terra si trema
e gli animali si stanno zitti
certe volte ti avvisano con rumore
Vengono
vanno
ritornano
e magari si fermano tanti giorni
che non vedi più il sole e le stelle
e ti sembra di non conoscere più
il posto dove stai
Vanno
vengono
per una vera
mille sono finte e si mettono lì
tra noi e il cielo
per lasciarci soltanto una voglia di pioggia
Le nuvole di Fabrizio de Andre

Clouds
They go
are
every now and then they stop
and when they stop
they are black like the crow
it seems that they look at you with an evil eye
Sometimes they are white
and they run
and take the shape of the heron
or sheep
or some other beast
but this is best seen by children
who play to run after him for many meters
Sometimes they warn you with a noise
before arriving
and the earth trembles
and the animals are silent
sometimes they warn you with noise
They are
they go
return
and maybe they stay for many days
that you no longer see the sun and the stars
and you don't seem to know anymore
the place where you are
They go
are
for a real
a thousand are fake and put there
between us and the sky
to leave us only a desire for rain

A cat in greenery is a harmonious combination ... however, cats are always and everywhere harmonious :)
The ancient Egyptians had a special relationship with cats: they were revered as sacred animals; mummified like humans; depicted in sculpture and frescoes. And the very first cat "portrait" was written by the Egyptians.
For a long time it was believed that the Egyptians tamed cats. However, in 2004, a burial site dating back to 9500 BC was discovered in Cyprus. e., in which a cat was found together with a man. A wild beast would hardly have been put in a grave. It turned out that cats lived with people long before they appeared in Egypt. The Middle East began to be considered the birthplace of domestic cats, and Egypt was forgotten for some time. But not for long: in 2008, a burial was opened in southern Egypt, in which six cats were found - a male, a female and four kittens. Although this burial was younger than the Cypriot one (about 6000 years), it became clear that cats were known in Egypt much earlier than was thought until recently.
It is known that the ancestor of the domestic cat was the steppe cat Felis silvestris lybica - it still lives in the steppe, desert and partly mountainous regions of Africa, Western, Central and Central Asia, in Northern India, Transcaucasia and Kazakhstan. In 2007, it was possible to establish that all modern cats descended from him.
Seafarers brought the first cats to Rus' in the pre-Christian era. Exotic animals were a valuable commodity: the cost of a cat until the 15th century was comparable to the value of a healthy arable animal - an ox.

Looking close...on Friday!
I am not sure of the identity of this flower, just that it passed the blooming phase:-)
I am getting fewer and fewer flowers to photograph right now. Might be a good time to slow down for the winter.

Combination of motion blur and selective colour. I am beginning to really like this look although it seems to be a bit of a long process for me. I am saying not so easy. I like the outcome though.

I saw an ornamental cherry tree in full blossom. Took a few shots, and was surprised with the colors resulting, although it makes sense, as the blossoms were in the shade and the grass behind was in full sunlight.
Bumblebees are known
as easy, efficient and reliable pollinators.
These are the advantages of bumblebees:
Bumblebees provide maximum insurance for optimal pollination, due to their high number of flower visits and large pollen transfer.
Bumblebee pollination results in higher yields, better shaped fruit, quality products and faster ripening of the fruit.
Bumblebees are reliable workers, they work 7 days a week from sunset to sunrise
Bumblebees work well under bad weather conditions and in protected environments
A striking landscape photograph capturing the rugged peaks of Sinai mountains during sunset.
The primary subjects are the two prominent, craggy mountain peaks that dominate the frame, filling the lower two-thirds of the image. The foreground is composed of the dark, textured slopes, providing depth.
The horizon line is positioned relatively low, emphasizing the vastness of the sky and the height of the mountains. The two main peaks create a balanced, symmetrical composition.
The lighting is soft and diffused, characteristic of the "golden hour" around sunset. The light source is likely just below or above the horizon, casting a warm glow on the clouds and creating deep shadows on the mountain faces.
A vibrant and contrasting color palette is used. The sky features soft pinks and purples in the clouds, contrasting beautifully with the cool, desaturated purplish-gray tones of the mountains.
The image highlights the rough, rocky texture of the mountains, which provides a strong tactile element against the smooth appearance of the sky.
The combination of soft light, dramatic peaks, and ethereal colors creates a serene, majestic, and awe-inspiring mood.
... Combination of Flora and Fauna.

I took this photo on the 6th, but didn't know what the theme was for today at the time. Since last Monday, I've hardly been out due to the horrible weather.
The photo hasn't been on Flickr before, although similar ones of it have.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

ripe berries of lonicera caprifolium/ honeysuckle in combination with wild agrimony flowers forming a lovely spontaneous little scene
agrimony is a beneficial herb that was already known by ancient Greek and Romans, also in Keltic culture, China and by Native Americans... to treat eye and skin ailments or insomnia etc., in Europe during the middle ages and Afrika in VooDoo it was/is even used to dispel curses!
but nothing of course like laughing at our troubles to dispel them, much better than to hide or say repress them for which agrimony also helps according to the English Dr. Bach in 19th century... making more spontaneous and open, also brave and confident enough to face troubles... keeping naturally cheerful and jovial!
also lonicera is a traditional herb known to be very beneficial for health and it is very nutritious... a.o. also calming and strengthening it is... too much to name here... but let 's say it is quite a strong combination that I came across here in the park where only wild flowers are found!

The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 7th of October is “a combination of soft and sharp”. This sounds like it is a soft and sharp focus theme, but in fact it is a combination of soft and sharp objects or plants. I immediately thought of roses, as I have some beautiful roses with soft petals and sharp thorns in my garden, but whilst spring is here, it is a cold and wet one, so I have no blooms yet. Luckily, I had another idea that also came to mind when the theme was announced. Anyone who follows my photostream, or knows me, knows that I love Art Nouveau. It is my favourite design movement. This even extends to my wardrobe, which is full of shirts made from beautiful and unusual Art Nouveau patterned fabric, mostly from Liberty of London, where I have shopped since I was a young teenager. Recently I acquired several metres of a number of new Liberty Art Nouveau fabrics to have made into shirts for summertime. This particular Liberty pattern is called “Nouveau Poppy” and is from their “Deco Dance” range of soft cottons. Thus, I have put a sharp needle used for sewing through the soft Liberty cotton as my combination of soft and sharp. I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.

Nowadays, M62 fans are not so easy to see the combination of brothers locomotives M62UMM and 2ZAGAL. We were rather lucky to get it. Locomotives passed with a local passenger train #271 Ulaanbaatar - Sukhbaatar. During the Japanese railfans "Golden Week" holiday group tour in May 2023.

The colour combination of black body with tufts of brown hair, red spots and white markings make the larvae of the Knot Grass moth easy to identify. This caterpillar will feed on a variety of plants including heather, plantain, knotgrass, dock, bramble, sallow and hawthorn. No surprise that this moth is a common and widespread species throughout Britain. This larva was found in my garden today looking for somewhere to pupate over winter in a cocoon formed among leaf litter.
Image 85 in this fun series of the capturing of the BULB capture. This capture is taken at Middle River in Maryland showing the smoothed clouds and smoothed out water surface.
This series allows the viewer to see conditions as they were during the shot, and then the resulting long exposure effect on the water and clouds. It also shows how people moving about 'vanish' from the long exposure.
For this moment in time I am displaying the long exposure taken on the right side (796 seconds long), and the conditions that were during this time can be seen on the capture to the left showing the BULB capture being taken. It was actually pretty interesting watching the sky change tones and colors during that 800 seconds and the resulting combination obtained on the sensor.
