Poppies! by orangecrush

Poppies!

The California wild poppies are in bloom right now! Looks like Spring is just about here! Love all the wild flowers I see popping up everywhere!
Its a new season and new seasons really get me in the mood for a one night stand! >:) Lets do it again! I'll be posting the list tomorrow for the One Night Challenge 4. We'll start it up on Monday the 18th. For those of you who missed it last time, Its a lot of fun!
Gorgeous photo, it's almost like a painting. The colours are so uplifting.

Gorgeous ... love how you've processed this. What's the secret?
March 17th, 2013  
@ozziehoffy Thanks, Cassandra! I cross processed the image using curves in PS. Then I took a shot of wrinkled card stock and used it as an overlay in Layers. I hope that wasn't too vague! :)
