All beautiful, but the very last one completely blows me away.
Thank you! It’s my favorite also; spent a long time on it … tuning my Lightroom radial filter skills to improve the color, contrast, and focus on the bloom and “disappear” a mess of leaves in the background of the original photo. Good times! 🙂
Nice! Happy 4th!
Thank you! Happy 4th to you too!
Ours aren’t blossoming yet, but looks like my blue one will have one blossom this year! Beats last year, when it didn’t have any. Yours are gorgeous!
Thank you! Yours aren’t blooming yet and mine are starting to loose their blooms … June and July heat pretty much wipes them out! Funny how that is. 🙂
These are absolutely beautiful hydrangea shots! The color and detail are amazing!
Thank you very much! Tried some new tricks in Lightroom (that I will write about soon) and they worked out pretty good!
