Spring.
I think it’s easy to take a picture of flowers or whatever says spring. It’s much harder to express what you feel. This image says spring to me. It’s poppy. It has energy. It is very colorful.
I got lucky. Sorta.
I made the magenta portion of the image about a week ago. I made the yellow flowers a day or so ago. Both pictures stand on their own. I started tinkering. I do that at night when I’m not thinking about the business side of my world. It’s pure creation.
The magenta flower was complete right after I photographed it. I finished working on the yellow flower, saved it and thought… hmm.
Often when you try layering, there are a few false starts. Not this time. The two pictures looked great together. It was a matter of adjusting the intensity of both pictures and fine tuning.
That’s it.
In case you are wondering, there isn’t a lot of hardware involved. the work was done on my smart phone. I could have created this post from there, but I like working on a big monitor for that. I usually can find and correct my mistakes easier on a large screen. Or not.
Even though you might not be interested in layering, there are a lot of little photographic tips throughout this post. They may help you. Or not.
That’s a stunning image. Any share on the editing?

Happy to. But, first tell me you use Snapseed. It’s a free to use app that works on Android and iPhones. If you do. I’ll write an entire post. I promise.

Thank you so much, Ray, I don’t use Snapseed, because for my real work I still prefer to use my real camera. But I might change my mind, if you are doing post anyways. Thanks again.

Thanks. The steps that I would discuss for that picture really only apply to Snapseed, I’m not sure how to duplicate them using what I use which is Photo Mechanic, OnOne and sometimes Affinity. I could try, but they wouldn’t be accurate. The best I could do is discuss philosophy.
