This glorious black-eyed susan, joyously pirouetting on a most perfect summer’s evening, was one of the highlights of our recent visit to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay, Maine. The gardens usually close at 6:00 in the summer, but this was a member evening so we had the pleasure of shooting in the magical evening light until 7:30.
We’d been looking forward to this evening all month, so we were a bit dismayed when raindrops started to fall as soon as we arrived. But the shower passed quickly and the rest of the evening was just, well, picture-perfect!
I processed this graceful dancer in PS with RadLab (customized setting) and a touch of Topaz Detail, then added layers of Ovid Banished (Flypaper Textures) and Jai Johnson’s Touch of Autumn canvas texture.
So full of light! I too, use flypaper textures! I’ve not tried Jai Johnson’s yet! Gorgeous.
Thank you so much for your delightful comments and for taking the time to go through my blog, Lyne! I’ll send you a link to Jai’s textures – they are wonderful!
What a glorious image Anita such a happy colour.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, Viv! And I’m sorry it took me so long to reply!
