Description
I always look forward to seeing our beautiful lilac hedge in bloom every May, and it was particularly lovely this year. I still find it hard to get really good photos of them, even after all these years!
This cluster just called out to me, but I wasn't happy with the green background, so I took it into Topaz Imression and used a Chalk Smudge filter that gave me the look I wanted, and reduced the coverage to give a white vignette effect, leavng just a bit of the green. I added a border, but I felt it needed something else in the upper left, and "Loving Lilacs" seemed just right.

Anita, dear friend, a big WOW. I so love the softness, almost like a flutter and your picture is just lovely. It shows off the actual subject, too.
