I gave this dahlia a dreamy look, it has an autumnal vibe. I’ve been in the mood for fall to get going. but it’s really still summer around here.

Orange and yellow dahlia given a dreamy look using the Smooth Abstract filter in G'mic, a plug-in to the GIMP.

I really liked the dreamy look the G’mic’s smooth abstract filter gave this one. Here’s a post describing how to use the G’mic filter.

These beautiful white lilies are blooming in a neighbor’s yard. They look so fresh and pretty, even on a sultry day. I feel so fortunate to live where I do. Every body seems to have different flowers, allowing me to vicariously enjoy flowers without having to grow them myself.

In addition to my regular processing in Raw Therapee and the GIMP (described in Photo Processing Workflow) I gave these a painterly effect using Topaz Studio 2.
