It’s Friday and that means it is time for another edition of AfterBeforeFriday Forum, hosted by Stacy Fischer on her blog Visual Venturing.
I desperately needed color, light, softness, something to get me through these cold, rainy days. So, I pulled out this image from last summer and gave it a breath of life. Just to get me through, until spring comes along.
Compared to other participants, I rarely post details to my post-processing. Mostly, it is because I am too lazy. 😀 But honestly, my post-processing is always the same, very simple, using PicMonkey and PixlrExpress most of the time. If I ever stumble upon some great revelation about editing images, I will be sure to share it with you. 😛

Don’t forget, next Friday is March OnePhotoFocus and we are editing my image, which I am sharing below. So, be sure to check us out next week.

Very nice transformation. The soft effect is a major improvement. Good job, but I still have no idea what I will do with your image;-)

Oooh, this just reminds me of the soon-to-bloom gorgeous cherry blossoms around Washington, D.C. As others have commented, I too really love the beautiful softness that your post-processing gave these lovely blooms. And the tight crop emphasizes what’s so special about these flowers – the incredible pinkness of them all 😀
And I’m just loving how everyone is being challenged by your photo, Loré. I’m beginning to get submissions, though I haven’t yet had a chance to open any. It’s going to be fun to see!!!
