Autumn Reds. Colour Challenge. Photography.
At this time of turning:
I find joy in all the colors of Autumn.
Today: I raked leaves: Mulch for my garden.
The branches of the trees: Almost bare.
The air: Crisp and cold. The sky: Blue.
Spirit warm. My heart aglow.
With Autumn Reds.
~Ally.
The Individual Layers.
The image: Autumn Reds was created in Photoshop by combining the following four layers on a red background.
Larger Ivy Leaves with Pink Berries
Small Ivy leaves
Liquid Amber Leaves
Branch of Ivy Leaves
Layers within the Image.
These three images were joined to make the one layer for Liquid Amber Leaves because the leaves were larger than the other leaves in the other layers.

Square Format.
Slightly re-arranging the layers as a square format: Because I love the square format.
But also: Something I keep in mind with most of my art making is how to coordinate the formatting so that the different pieces can be presented on other platforms. The square format doesn't always work for Steemit, but I love using it for my Instagram, Minds and MakersPlace sites.
A new Series?
The idea for combining wide horizontal layers to form the one image has been whirling around my mind for some time now. So I wanted to work on just one of these images, that more than likely will develop into another series: After my studio has been totally prepared for this new work, that is ~ A work still in process.
Photoshop.
I've only recently started to dabble with Photoshop again. Not one for manuals, I just play intuitively and then try to remember what I've done. A total novice, but I'm finding my way around layering and the logical ordering of layers now. So I'm really happy with my slow but steady self-relearning program. ~Ally.
A heart that is holding infinite possibilities.
A creative who is learning to trust the mystery of what will be.
A spirit that is willing to fly into new creative realms and share the journey. ~Ally.
