Michaelmas daisy

There was a heavy frost last night. None of yesterday's butterflies were to be seen in the afternoon sun on the Michaelmas daisies.

I have to produce an impressionist effect for my next photo homework, so I decided to experiment with today's image. What I like about this technique is that every image is unique and you can't reproduce the effect exactly, however hard you try.

Another technique I've been learning is a Velvia effect, so I've also applied that here. I'll be interested to know what you think. It's not to everyone's taste.

This morning: photo class where we looked at each other's image interpretations of each other's images (does that make sense?). It was fascinating to see all the different effects.

This afternoon: took Mum to hospital to have her new hearing aids fitted. They were ordered in February so have been awaited eagerly. So far they seem to be an improvement
