The Plum Tree Saga

Hello dear friends. 

A few days ago I was admiring the beauty of the blossoms on our plum tree and, knowing that they would soon be gone, I decided to have some fun with iPhone photo apps on one of the photos. Below is the result.

Here is the unedited photograph.

I loved the way the blossoms played against the

beautiful North Carolina sky. 

I framed it using VintaFrame...

For this one I used an app called DistressedFX.

I have had it for awhile, 

but since it is better used

on landscape photography,

I hadn't had a reason to use it.

Not only does it distress your photos with many 

different options,

but it also puts birds in the background

(and you know how much I love birds).

Can you see the birds flying "behind" the tree?

I then framed it with one of the options from 

the VintaFrame app...

For the version below,

I also used DistressedFX, 

but chose a different treatment,

and a different "flock" of birds.

It is a little hit and miss, because you can't 

put the birds where you want them

(unless you know something that I don't!).

I then used Snapseed for the frame. 

I've talked about some of these apps before.

Have you tried these or any others?

I'd love to know!

Have a wonderful weekend.
