United we stand

My way of managing 365 at the moment is to allow permission to post from the weekend into the week immediately following, that way I don't get in a stew making myself late for work.

I seem to have gathered a few during this week, but I did want to revisit my walk on Saturday and post at least another from the collection of dandelion heads that await some 'exposure' on my hard drive. This is in contrast to a more dreamy version of the same arrangement. I am never too sure myself which are the more successful.

Today, my colleagues were in Luton and I was given special permission to stay behind and try to catch up on a project. It was blissfully peaceful. I am wondering how I can contrive to repeat the experience! There is still a lot of catching up to do.
This is a great title and good spotting to get the photo!

Excellent detail in this fantastic dandelion shot, Helen! Definitely a fav!
So nice that you had a peaceful day at work to get caught up on a project. I remember that's how I felt when I was teaching and we had a student holiday-teacher workday. :-)

@moonmtn Hi Kahsia, I don't use LightRoom but Photoshop CS5. Im not great at all the terminology but by split toning I assume you mean separating out part of the image to adjust the toning? In which case no. I simply moved the slider towards B&W to reduce the colour saturation. I stopped just shy of B&W to leave the colour you see.
