As you can see - my new year's resolution isn't going too well...

Oh well, today is still officially the holiday season in our house so I'll start tomorrow!

Thanks to Obsidian Dawn and peterpson at deviantart.com for the PS brushes.

An Atlantic puffin shooting across the sky to get its cargo to base before it is mobbed by marauders of the gull variety. I liked this one in black and white as I found the blue sky a bit distracting, but wanted to retain the bright orange of the beak, eye and feet so used the selective colour tool in post. Quite liked the effect in the end.

Photo taken using only grey objects except for the yellow lemon slice and a bit of clove. I wanted to do this week's challenge without having to desaturate the photo by colors, I wanted the effect of selective colour to be done in real life

Thank you for your visit!

Here is the second photo of the iconic Rose Seidler House, designed by her son Harry. This is a view from the back of the house.

The house was the most talked about house in Sydney in 1950. Surrounded by bushland with panoramic views of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, the house is still one of the finest examples of mid 20th Century modern domestic architecture in Australia.

Blue eyes.

No, not just blue,

blue like glacial waters,

like romantic poems,

like heavens and moonstones.

Californian Poppies.

I planted these last year in my garden for the first time and quickly fell in love with them.

They’re not really poppies at all but I can see why they’re called that. They produce a profusion of flowers over a very long period, all delicate and wispy. And the flowers go to sleep at night!

But the overriding association I have with them is simply their colour. It’s just a remarkable orange and I can’t think of them without the word orange poppying into my mind :)

I thought I would try an put that into this image, taken in August last year. So here we have it: orange, the essence of a flower (at least from my perspective lol).

For Friday Flora.

Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Friday Flora (and weekend) :)

Touched up in Affinity, converted to mono in Nik Silver Efex with lots of contrast and darks, and structure in the highlights. Adding back the selective colour in SEfex was straightforward with multiple control points grouped together.

Bella and TIppy are feral babes of the same generation (Belly is probably a few weeks older than Tippy), and have been inseparable ever since Bella arrived in the garden.
