Imarchi from Madrid, Spain

Amazing Anita! How do you manage to get that painting-like atmosfear? It's beautiful, and the colours, wow!

31 May 2013 2:01pm

@Imarchi: I'm glad you like it. I did three main things to get this effect: 1) I used a wide-open aperture, f1.8, which blurs the background. 2) In processing, I used a plug-in called Topaz Simplify. 3) I added two soft textures. For how to use textures, go to my tutorial here . I hope this info is helpful.

Bruce from Tacoma, United States

I like the blue tinge and the soft tones you use.

splendid shot with the colors fondu... and thanks to be honnest in your post, I noticed on which you were only two people to tell the truth, it was tilting... I surely apprecate that.

31 May 2013 7:47pm

@Sue-Ann: Glad you like this one. I pointed out the tilt of the photo because in your blog you asked for feedback and because it was such a nice photo.
