Geranium No 2
Another unusual Geranium, taken at Geranium Cottage in the rural northern are of Sydney Australia. I had no idea there was such variety in the Geranium family – from tiny orchid-like flowers, to large rhododendron-like bunches … stunning.
Treated with an overlay as an experiment …

I like the overlay Rosalie, gives it a little something extra.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
I cringed a little uploading this wondering what the reaction would be to the overlay – it was a ‘trial and error’ process …I was looking for a textured, gauzy look to the background. Thank you Jenni for your positive feedback.

G’day Rosalie,
This is a beautiful pair of Geraniums and you have made a very good compositon of this little garden scene.
Your photography and processing has used that glorious lighting to full advantage, giving the flowers and stems a lovely glow.
Very good use of depth of field, good focus, judicious sharpening, great contrast and wonderful colours.
The overlay has worked well with the background in helping to soften it and make it interesting.
Lovely floral work that girl!
