Photos "Explored"

Playing with selective color processing on this image of my cat, Flame.

I had the great pleasure of visiting Longwood Gardens with my sister and her significant other last week. One of my best surprises (besides the beautifully refurbished main fountain) was how well my new iPhone 7 Plus camera works. It has two lenses instead of one, enabling a wonderful telescopic ability, and a new setting (called "portrait") that simulates bokeh, which was the thing I was most excited to try. The photo above was shot with this in-camera setting. I have not processed it any further so that you can see how well this bokeh setting works. It won't replace DSLR's, but it works far better than any point and shoot camera I ever owned! :-)

" Let me sail, let me sail, Let the Orinoco flow Let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli Let me sail, let me sail, Let me crash upon your shore Let me reach, let me beach Far beyond the Yellow Sea Sail away, sail away, sail away...

Having fun with PicMonkey. :-) Original photo in comment below... Thank you all so very much for your kind words and faves; I don't get creative with photoshop very often, so it is most encouraging that you like my work! :-)

I am not sure what these flowers are, but they are divine!

Winterthur Gardens and Museum has several varieties of this scented beauty. It was a joy to be around them; wish I could photograph smells, too!
