Week # 14
I was so happy when I found this lovely set of little glass vases in a wooden coaster. And in memory of my dear mother I created this image with her favorite flowers. When she visited me, I received very often a bunch of pinks.

In Lightroom preset kk-hazydazy and in Photoshop I used the textures kk-beekeeper and kk-abstract.

Week 9 - IVY & HIDRANGEA STILL MOMENTS

The Ivy images of Kim are beautiful! I have no Ivy, because it's not good for my cat. But on my Sundays walk through the forest I found some fresh branches. This is my creation which I shoot on my balcony. Of course it was a must for my tomct to assist :)

In Lightroom only little adjustments, no preset. In CS5 I used Kim's textures kk_ponder and twice kk_return.
