Flowers and Fruit!

I love it when I get a chance to go out to my sister's house and take pictures of her lovely flowers and landscape. While I was there a few weeks ago I just took some random pictures of nature in it's finest form. After looking threw my pictures I decided to edit 2 different pictures the same way and see how they turn out. The first one was of her lovely new blooming apple trees!

Then I chose the picture of a flower beginning to bloom.

Here is the workflow that follows for both pictures. Edited in PSE6

Reduce noise @ 10%

Despeckle

Everyday Elements Quick Clean @ 100%

Everyday Elements Jackson @ 100%

NV Action @ 100%

Coffee Shop action Story Book Vintage @ 100%

My Four Hens action Honey Tree @ 60%

Add my texture it was a free one from flicker it had no name

Overlay@ 45%

Soft Light @ 48%

So I think they both turned out fantastic! It is trully neat to see how using the same workflow on 2 different pictures look. Give it a try and tell me what you come up with? What are some of your favorite actions you like to use?
