  1. An oblique swipe of one of the leave sprays with just a light touch of Nik Software’s ColorEfx Pro “Fog” to mute the color and add to the light airy aspect of the plant.
  2. An in camera overlay with one selective focus and one totally defocused. The Orton filter effect was then added in Photoshop.
  3. A simple straight shot showing a new leave spray echoed by two larger ones.
