Sedums - up against the wall!

I have a suspicion that the gardener comes out each morning, calls these flowers to attention and generally makes sure that each one is still in line!

Orange and grey

The rather vague title is because I cannot identify these flowers! I love the orange of the flower against the grey of the leaves. To emphasise this I converted the image to B&W in Photoshop, cut back to the original colour of the petals and intensified the colour saturation (a lot!) using blending layers. I put a graduated black border round the edge using the erase tool.

Chestnut leaf in puddle

Another one shot in the Kings Wood at Challock. These are the leaves from the previous Autumn that have lain in the puddle for 5 or 6 months. I love the patterns that they make where they overlay each other

Footpath abstract I

This is the first of a series of four abstract patterns that I saw in the footpath just up the road from where I live. The camellia petal really was there - I did not carefully position it! The pictures are processed in Photoshop and various blending options to intensify the colours or tones.
