Extra: Blue


When the forsythia blooms, it is most definitely spring.

Wow. What's the background?

I want that blue colour in my life too, it is wonderful, makes the yellow bloom and the little crystal bead drops stand right out.

Well, it's just our fence...who knew?

The light got captured with a slightly blue tint and then the auto levels and contrast adjusments in PS did this. So I bumped the midtone contrast and deepened the highlights to really make the flowers and the water drops stand out. But even before that, it was a brilliant blue.

What brilliant colours! I love how the yellow looks against that blue. I've had my hair in a blue very close to that. :-D

That's lovely! Blue and yellow look so good together, and you've captured their vibrance so well. It's always so hopeful and joyful to see the forsythia blooming in the early spring.
