Hints of Summer.....and Winter.....

Photo Information

I thought that the summer flowers and our winter log burner made a nice contrast. I converted it to BW, then added a muted colour layer of the flowers only, with the White Balance tweaked to warm them up. Hope you like it.

Lovely idea, two contrasing items and the colour pop really works.

Kind regards Maria

Thanks to you both - sometimes they seem to work and sometimes they don't.
