Taking One Day At A Time 
Hi Sarah,
Another blue-tiful picture. Thanks for playing today.
Have a Beautiful Blue Monday!
Thanks Sally 🙂 My pleasure as always!
Lovely depth of field, a blue delight!
Thanks so much 🙂 I did add a few gradient light bursts in photoshop to emphasise the DOF. They were a delightful sight!
What’s a gradient light burst when it’s at home, Sarah? Love the delicate image….
https://youtu.be/3IcoqYMAGh4 I found this helpful video on YouTube to give you an example! It’s a starting point that you can play with. He uses “angle” and “noise” but you can play with “radial” and “solid”. You’ll understand when you watch the video! You can also use the brush tool on the gradient mask to add or remove the effect. When you are happy with this you can also experiment using the Blur filter on the light burst layer. Motion and Radial blur are great fun to add 🙂
Thanks, Sarah….one day I will get around to using photoshop….
When we do finally manage to get together you can bring a couple of photos you’d really like to do something with in photoshop with you on a USB stick and I’ll show you how to do stuff with them in Photoshop!!
Yay! Sounds like a plan, Sarah
😀
Gorgeous
Thank you so much Raewyn 🙂
I particularly like these colours – so gentle pleasing.
Thanks David 🙂 Yes, I love going into the alpine house, especially in winter as the colours in there always bring a smile to my face!
Shah a soft pleasing blue 🙂
Thanks 🙂 Little alpines 😀
