Christmas blossom
Uploaded: December 29, 2013
I took this with my new point and shoot (Canon Powershot SX280 hs) that my husband got me as my "in my purse all the time" camera as I always seem to be wishing I had my camera in situations when I normally don't carry my camera. I guess I am seeing life through my camera lens, and it's not always practical for me to bring my SLR along. Anyway, I was playing with the manual settings using the macro button to get the back of this hibiscus blossom. The sky was completely overcast and washed out in the image. So I decided to play with a cloud layer in PS (I have hundreds of cloud photos!) to see if it worked. I have done very few multi layered images but have always wanted to try it. I'm pretty happy with the way this one turned out. Also, added a bit of detail pop in Topaz to the flower layer.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
