Thanks for good wishes. I really like this, I've been using shadows for depth of late too. What a nice effect this new filter makes, really lovely image!
@corinnec@ljmanning@amyk@jgpittenger So truly grateful for you kind and supportive comments. I must plant more flowers in my garden but of course they will have to be deer UN-friendly.
Happy New Year!
You are certainly up with an awesome start!
