Delphinium Experiment

There's quite a bit of post processing in this one. This was a stack to start with (can't remember how many layers-I think 4). Then I flattened it, duplicated the layer and deliberately blurred it, then blended it with the unblurred layer to try to get back the foggy feel of the morning when it was taken. I kept being struck by the look of a forest ridge line in this plant when I sat on our porch in the morning and tried several times to capture it-with a notable lack of success. This is the closest I came.

I'd be interested in knowing if this works for anyone?

Thanks for looking,
