Creation of an image

Creation of an image

I've done some wild things with images but this is the first time I've done this much.  So I had these two:

And I thought wow they would look good together in a grouping.  So I needed another thin tree with yellow leaves. I looked through older images and nothing that fit.  I tried to find one during my fall picture taking travels.  At this point I had gone through the entire length of Skyline Drive, some hiking, 100 miles of Blue Ridge Parkway, and every gravel and back road that I know and nothing fit.  The leaves were coming down and it didn't look promising.  So I started going through all my older images one by one starting with DVD10.  DVD10 is when I first moved to Virginia.  Everything before DVD10 is Florida images. I arrange my images in folders named DVD+.  I started doing that back when DVDs were the best backup choice back in 2003 when I first started Serenity Scenes.  I now have backup disk drives that count their space in terabytes but I still keep the naming format.  Each DVD folder has about 50 images in it.  A lot of them have never seen the light of day and never will.  I created them, saved them, gave them a name, and when I looked at them for putting on the website or in a show I just said "What were you thinking, Alison" and nope.

So in 2018 I retired from my day job and thought maybe I should try some Florida art festivals.  I was going down to Florida for my retirement party and decided to add some extra time to get more Florida images.  Note - the only images I sold in the two Florida shows I did were non-Florida images so it was a pretty useless attempt.  However I did take this one photograph.  I loved the tree but all that undergrowth made it an immediate nope.  i'm not sure why, but I did give it a name and saved it.

See that long branch on the left with just a few light green leaves that, with the right filtering, could become yellow.  I cropped that out and it became Yellow Splotches and this became the Branches Grouping.
