Photoshop Actions – 52 Week Photo Project: Week Seven Wrap Up – Let's Do 52 Challenge With Paint the Moon

Thank you so much for another fine week of Let’s Do 52! I loved seeing all the wonderful entries for the themes “Pretty Ugly” and “Smooth.” And I was happy to see I’m not the only one who finds beauty in tiny details and things that others may not notice or even see as ugly. Many subjects happened to be one of my favorite “ugly” subjects – dead or dying plants and flowers. It’s amazing how photos can bring out all the beautiful details that many may overlook. The “smooth” entries were wonderfully diverse and I loved seeing everyone’s different subjects for this theme as well!
 

My entry for the week … it’s a little “lazier” than I would have preferred, but we went on a mini vacation over the long weekend and it will have to do. This is for the theme “Pretty Ugly” – both because the flowers were dying and falling apart all over my desk and also because although I’ve never learned to really love tulips, they are one of the only flowers in season that are readily available in the bunch right now. So, I’ve been finding beauty in them during this bleak, rainy season. I suppose the prettiest flowers are the ones that are blooming in front of you!
