Full Bloom
Taken in a old disused barn, I couldn’t resist the gorgeous light in there, ended up shooting the formals in there also.
I used a inverted highpass layer with soft light blend for the softness, then made a mask and painted off the areas I wanted detailed. For sharpness I made another highpass layer at a setting of 1px and changed blend to vivid light, applied a mask and then painted the detail to where I want it. Then to finish off with a slight burning-in here and there.
It’s important to find good light to start with, otherwise this type of processing just won’t work in most cases.

As usual Peter this is amazing work.
Peter Marin
Thanks very much Andrew and everyone else thats left encouraging comments. I particularly like this one too, not just for the processing, but also because I took the initiative to go for a wander down the back of the property to scout for better lighting conditions, it’s where this old barn was lol. Thanks again one and all.
