This is the last of Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesdays of 2012. I did not link up as many times as I would have liked. It was a busy year and I stretched myself thin by taking on many new activities: new role at work with a steep learning curve, starting Tae Kwon Do lessons (which I love), training for a half marathon that I completed in October, more involvement in online and in person photography activities and courses, and more involvement with my kids' in school and out of school activities.
Although I should perhaps pare down the list of activities that I want to do, I do not want to give up any of my new activities that I started in 2012. I am enjoying every one. Next year, perhaps, I will try to work my way out of a few activities that I do not enjoy so much or are not worth my effort. Some more delegation (especially of house hold duties) may be in order!

I processed this photograph of a dried hydrangea blossom using Lightroom, Photoshop and Radlab and added a couple of Kim's newer textures. I purposely went heavy on the textures.
I love hydrangeas and this photo is really beautiful! Wonderful processing, too! I also would have liked to participate more often... but we both made it to the last link-up of 2012 - yay!! :-)
ReplyDeleteit's lovely. so very lovely.

Beautiful! Very nicely done. I really like the way the axis of the leaves is at an angle. Makes the image much more interesting. The textures add so much the way you did them.
ReplyDeleteEar,
Wonderful work. The colour is so gently on the image. Just lovely.
