Photo of the Week: Tiger Lilies

OK - this week it actually two photos. I Couldn't resist taking a couple of shots of some Tiger Lilies in our front garden. Click on the images to see the full res version.

Both were enhanced with Adobe PhotoShop Elements 6. I shot them with a Nikon D40x using the RAW format just before sunset.

The first shot was enhanced with the Camera Raw editor to increase the exposure, clarity and vibrance. I love how the colors and the details really "pop"!




The second shot was edited in the full PSE6 editor after a little tweaking with Camera Raw again. I used a light smudge technique to soften the surfaces and borders to create an interesting effect.



Enjoy!
