title:

Pollen Things

gen. notes:

This tree bloom was overhanging the sidewalk above eye level from a tree the other side of a fence. Taken on an early spring day with a breeze, it was difficult to get a clear shot with the branch holding still.

photo edit notes:

Used basic color correction techniques with an emphasis on getting the yellow and orange to stand out. I used a selective color layer on the blues to take some magenta out of the sky. (I tend to have a bit of problem with that with printing.) I changed to CMYK mode to use the unsharp mask in the K channel, making a copy, doing the mode change, over-sharpen in K channel, change mode back to RGB then add back to original with about 60% opacity.
