My Magic Number – Fountains Hall
One thing I always do to an image when processing, is add a vignette. But sometimes I have a tendency to go a little overboard… especially on flowers. Landscapes, however, need a subtle vignette and not a heavy one, unless you are deep into woodland and want to draw the viewers eye to the centre…
