Birdhouse in the honeysuckle

Get Pushed Challenge #602
My partner suggested that I might try the split tone Ann suggested for Flash of Red. I realized why Ann suggested upping vibrance and saturation because when the color is added, the photo looks a bit dull. So here's one for the challenge.
@annied Here's a photo for your challenge. Thank you for giving this one to me. I needed to learn something different. I remember when Lightroom had a split tone section in the Develop Mode. It's been changed into Color Mode. I guess it does the same thing, but works a bit differently. I hope this meets your challenge.

It does meet the challenge Kathy - it looks good with the colour you've chosen - well done!

You have done a wonderful job with this Kathy I think the subject lends itself very well to the process!

@annied Thank you Annie. It's good to get that validation.
@grammyn Thank you Katy. You're always so supportive.

It meets the challenge perfectly, what a great result.
February 14th, 2024  
I like the amount of color. Just right.
February 14th, 2024  
Nicely done! I need to look into this split toning. I know nothing about it.
February 14th, 2024  
Fabulous.

Good job! My split toning attempts have not been successful, so I'm going back to the traditional flash of red week. But I'm going to keep fiddling with it in album #2.

Nicely done

I'm not sure I understand this split tone business but then I'm not interested in editing so I suppose I don't need to understand it.
February 14th, 2024  
Great job, Kathy.

I'm like Kathy A - I haven't spent enough time working out what the split tone means, so am just doing a 'free' posting this week. I'm gradually getting it though, as I see people's posts. Lovely image, Kathy.

@onewing Thank you Babs. I appreciate your comments.
@tunia I found it is easy to overboard on the color and I had to adjust the exposure to help with that too. Thank you Tunia.
@mccarth1 The tutorials aren't up to date with my Lightroom and Photoshop. So I did have some trouble with it. Good luck. And thank you for your feedback on this Kerry.
@homeschoolmom Thanks very much Lisa.
@olivetreeann You'll get it Ann. Thank you.
@amyk Appreciate that Amy.
@kjarn I agree. It's definitely a post processing technique. If you're satisfied with SOOC then you probably don't need to worry with it. You're good at SOOC. I'm not, so I'm always post processing anymore.
@franbalsera Thank you Fran.
@jamibann Thanks so much Issi. I doubt that I do a lot of it. It's something to keep my interest up to try out new things.
@jacqbb Thanks so much Jacqueline.
@wakelys Thank you for saying so Sue.
@pusspup Thank you Wylie. It's a bluebird box. Apparently they like the small opening to reduce the chance that predators will get in to get their eggs. If you're interested, here's a relatively short article with good photos and pictures: https://bygl.osu.edu/node/465#:~:text=Bluebird%20houses%20(hereafter%20called%20bluebird,Male%20eastern%20bluebird.
