Soft and Beautiful

Reworking a rose
I thought I would rework a rose. As I haven’t got my external hard drive here at the moment, and am using my laptop, I had the original blog photo in a folder in Google Drive, so I opened that in Photoshop and used only Photoshop for my edits. I started by duplicating the layer…

Grazing
When we went to Great Dixter in East Sussex on Saturday, just by the car park was this field that was full of grazing sheep. I view was spectacular so I asked him indoors to do a panoramic. So he took 10 shots for me so that I could create a panoramic photo in Photoshop. …
