Peony Blossom on the PorchTexture kk_waterfront28 Overlay, 53% Blend |
Same picture as above without texture. |
The first year, I had no support for the heavy blossoms, but this year I put the ring out early. The flowers bloomed this week and they are still leaning over. I was hoping for a lot of blossoms and I was not disappointed, they are beautiful.
I love the textured blossom above in the vase. I used Perfect Effects 8 to add a vintage layer and then took it into Photoshop elements 10 for the texture. The Perfect Effects is new for me and I am not sure what I am doing, but will need to practice since I think there are some great features for landscapes. All it takes is time.
I love to see the peonies open up! They are so beautiful in each stage!
ReplyDeleteLovely peonies. I don't know what happened to mine this year.
ReplyDeleteGreat edit of the peony in the vase and I enjoyed the collage of their progression.
ReplyDeleteOne can't have to many peonies, so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to take photos while they were progressing. Very pretty photo of the peony and vase. I used to use Perfect Effects 8 quite a bit. Nice program, but I prefer PS Elements12.
ReplyDeleteOurs have bloomed and withered away weeks ago. They didn't seem to last very long this year. Gorgeous pink color.
