I just commented on Create 52

I love what you've done with this, especially contrasting the summer flower with the snow falling! How did you create the snow?

Thanks Linda. I have a software called "smart photo editor" it has snow as an add on effect (also rain)

Another way to get a snow effect is to download a snow overlay photo from a web site like Unsplash or Brusheezy or Pexels. Then, make it a separate layer in PS (I think this works in PSE also) and blend them. Lighten, Screen, or Exclusion modes seem to work. I also tried adding a little motion blur to the snow.

Thank you Dan. I see there are YouTube tutorials also, for those who want to DIY

I feel refreshed just by looking at the image, Fran. However, I disagree with Linda about the flower. A few ice cubes dropped around the glass would better emphasize the theme of your entry. . . .
