How I did it :

This image was made in March. It is the ground cover in my neighbor's yard. First I applied the multiply darks filter in Auto FX. Then added the under exposure filter. A little saturation was added to produce bright green tones with one tiny red violet leaf. I have made color variations of this image using the hue slide in PS saturation filter. Thought the fall colors might cool us off from the summer heat. The other color variations have a monotone look. I don't know why this one has more different colors in it.

In my 30's I had catastrophic experience by coming down with Fibromyalgia.This was long before the research got started. Once I got some meds that helped cut down the intense pain I started getting interested with photography in 1999.We bought my first digital camera, an Olympus. Photography gave me the desire to push myself until I got lot stronger. I am now using a Canon 10D with canon L glass. I like competitions and have won prizes and acceptances in Salon competition.I have sold some my work in an art gallery. My photos have been published in photo books, photo magazines and the newspaper.
Photography has become a passion with me! I love to learn new ways to improve my images. I belong to few groups to help me do that. Now I have the opportunity to learn more with PSA!
