DANCE FOR THE WIND

"Dance for the Wind" (6-1-10 10009v2) was just re-worked from an old version of a very old pic of mine. Please forgive my self-indulgence in posting another canna leaves photo. Even more than usual (especially given the dreams I had last night) I welcome how they lift my spirits. As to what I did to this newer version? Lots of diffusion (that's what brings out the curving and curling) and heavy color saturation. I also fixed some distracting imbalance of color that came in once I did the saturating. (Had to take down the brightness of some pink/fuchsia that showed up, and so on.) And I used the delightful lasso function to get rid of some small distracting spots. What a blessing that function has turned out to be. I've even found ways to use the lasso in working on abstract pix, changing swaths of color and texture in the size and shape I introduce using the lasso.
