Oh they are so beautiful!! I keep seeing them everywhere here too and wishing I had planted some in my yard somewhere! I guess there is still time! I love how you used the texture!
Lovely contrast of colors and texture.
I'm growing this grass, but leaving the pots in the greenhouse over the Winter, as theya re supposed to be tender plants.
I have to confess that I prefer your original view.
No only is Purple Fountaingrass a beautiful plant, but to see the glow of it in your photo is like magic. Your processing is lovely!
I really appreciate your sharing your recipe for using the texture. I still often struggle with the best ways to use textures. Your photo is beautiful - love that pop of purple - subtle yet still vibrant.
Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the web, Donna. I write out the recipes as that helps me remember what I did, and was oh, so helpful for helping me deconstruct an image when I was learning how to do it. I'm glad you find it helpful, too. It always amazes me to see the before and after shots!
Beautiful edit!
i dearly love purple fountain grass!! i have wanted to plant some in our yard for so long now. you've done wonderful work adding the texture to it ... compared to the original, it's stunning indeed! :)
Wonderful edit! I love the light... so beautiful.
Lovely transformation, Fountain Grass is one of my favorite grasses.
I like how you caught the backlight - beautiful!
