Photoshop

Early spring 6, originally uploaded by quercus design.

I learned some new tricks in Photoshop yesterday. Well, not new, really. I knew how to mess with the color adjustments. But with this photo I got to play around with them at a new level.

Because the sprouts are so green and the background had very little green or yellow in it, I was able to almost strip the background of color. I could have made it totally black-and-white, but thought that looked too harsh. This way looks (I hope) less obviously 'Photoshopped' but still puts all the attention on that incredible backlit spring green. It's the way I saw it - the background was irrelevant, the sprouts took all my attention.
