Candle Lilies

Had some fun with these beautiful white day lilies taken in the bright sunshine at the Harry P. Leu Gardens in Orlando, Florida. To get the golden color in the flowers, one of Serge Ramelli’s LR presets, Safari Warm Dramatic Strong, was used and then just some basic changes were done. In PS a High Pass layer was created to sharpen the image. Then Lighten and Darken Curves Adjustment Layers were used. A Color Lookup Adjustment Layer using Kodak 5218 Kodak 2395 preset was applied at 55% layer opacity. Then a Gradient Layer Adjustment Layer selecting Sepia 5 as a gradient was added next and set to Soft Light blend mode and 57% layer opacity. Viveza 2 was used to finish up. I like the surreal candle effect. …..Digital Lady Syd
