ORANGE YOU LOVELY

The source photo for today's pic is almost six years old. As is the version of it I just worked up this morning into "Orange You Lovely" (11-09-09 8083v2). It's one of those pix I could not let go of despite it's problems. I'm glad I didn't because I get to enjoy it now. It's interesting how after years pass, I often find simple solutions to problems I'd not be able to clear up in a photo previously. In this case, rotating it 90 degrees to the right pretty much fixed it. And what it didn't fix, it made clear what else I could readily do. (A bit of painting out, along with a small amount of color and shadow work.) P.S. Now that I've had to keep looking at it during this posting process I'm beginning to have trouble with it again. Sigh. What's that quote? By Valery, I think: A work of art is never done, just abandoned?
