Dryad's Saddle (Pheasant Back) mushroom attached to a fallen/cut log and sitting just above the forest undergrowth.
After dinner we headed to downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Union Station was designed in the architectural style of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Construction started in 1914, and the station officially opened in 1927. The fisheye lens shot brings out the grand style of the main hall.
I processed a balanced,a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the curves and color balance. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Selective Colour is a process that highlights one colour or a coloured object in an otherwise black and white image. This makes the selected color pop .
There are different ways to create an image with a selective colour:
1. You might have a camera with an inbuilt Selective Colour edit tool
2. You can use an editing software which is provided in the internet – many are free to download
3. You create a black and white scene (or with different shades of grey) and insert an item of vibrant colour and take a photo of that scene.
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) :)

Developed in Capture One.
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.

I really love it when the afternoon sun shines through some branches and illuminates one flower only among many others ! This hybrid Begonia grows among Portulaca and tries to emerge from the bright Portulaca blooms, which are slowly but surely taking over the whole space. But the sun kissed this pretty, softly coloured flower :)
Weekly Theme Challenge ~ Selective Colour
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
We went to see Hanami, the cherry blossoms at Hakone Gardens, a Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. It was an enchanting experience to walk at night below cherry trees in full blossom, and along bamboo trees. This is the main gate where you enter.
I processed a realistic, a balanced, and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

We went to the Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur, California. This beach is famous for the keyhole, a hole in a rock out on the ocean. The sun light shines right through the keyhole at sunset, but only in December and January when the sun is low. I find it interesting how a wave entering the keyhole dissipates in a half circle around the hole.
