Happy Weekend,

In the mid 80's we visited Yosemite National Park. Below is a photo of Yosemite Falls, the highest measured waterfall in North America. I edited the photo a bit.
Did I over do the green?

Hi
Don!

What a spectacular waterfall. Did you 'overdo the green'? To me the tree in the centre doesn't look real although the rest is acceptable. I believe we all see things differently so to others it might appear to be fine. What do other people think?



Don here are two photos of my Spanish poinsetta. As you can see the colour is just starting to come through so you can tell whidh are the bracts which will eventually be crimson. What can you do to improve it Don? It would be lovely if I could see it in all its glory! The plant on the left is a plumbago.

Cheers Gillian

Gillian,


The tree in the middle is real, but I think the color to bright. I could claim it was due to shaft of sunlight but it was a clear day so I guess I can’t spin that story.

Below is your poinsettia (hope I got the right plant). I lost detail on the leaves when I adjusted the color but for a quick adjustment, I don’t think it is too bad. I need a bit more practice with this software.

Hi Don!

You are right! A little too heavy with the red ! But it is an improvement and yes you did get the right plant! The larger plant on the right of the picture is very pretty in early summer with large mauve flowers.

Do you like my blue frog? I also have a large blue snail.

Thanks Don!

Cheers Gillian
