Wild white columbine from my trip to Gunnison and Crested Butte.
Then made the frame from the photograph and added the word. Had fun with this. Any critiquing welcome.

Not too shabby!
I have photographed Columbine from Gothic Valley to St. Elmo to Durango. Most are light yellow or light blue. Yours has just a hint of blue. I have never seen one so white. Nicely captured.

I love it. Explain how you made the frame from the photograph. What program did you use?

Thanks everyone.
Yes, it was way back in Gothic Valley where I found the white columbines. On the left side of the hill. I was told about it by a person who had been there a few days earlier. I almost gave us but there they were - in a bunch. And the light was not so good as there were shadows but I was lucky to get what I got.

In photoshop I take the photo, adjusted if needed, then I blur it. Then I save it using a dif. name. Like" columbine blur".
I then bring it up in a different window and using that little tool at the top left side I take the in focus photo and slip it on to the blur.
Oh, I have left the blur one at the original size - 5x7 but crop the in focus photo an inch smaller - 4 x 6. it took me a while to get it but once I did it was really easy to do.
Anyone know of a Colorado photo contest they really enjoy?

I thought you were using the blur tool but just wasn't sure about how you kept it in a rectangle. I have PSE 10. I'll see if I can do that. I really like the look. Thanks.

Hi Susie, I hope you can do it in PSE. It sure is fun and does make a great frame. Someone shared it with me and have had fun.

Here's my try using PSE 10. I tried to align the centers so the edges would be the same size, but the align tool wouldn't work. I'll have to practice with that.
