Happy Australia Day



Just a quick snap of a flag - kinda appropriate for the day. The shy was really grey this afternoon, so I put a blue filter over it and erased out the flag parts. If I had of taken the pic this morning there would have been a beautiful blue sky in the background - oh well.







Thank you for the feedback on this pic. I used Sweetcheeks "Lighten Up Barely" instructions for PSE. I modified them a bit so I didn't blow out the clouds in the top right TOO much. I really like the effect - looks heaps better. Again than you for the suggestions.
