Sunday morning we woke to find that more snow had fallen. By the afternoon the sun had warmed things up and we had icicles dripping from the eaves. This one just caught the sun in the right way as it looked like gold sparkles.
The first edit was just to get a custom white balance and then an adjustment for levels and hue and saturation. I did not want to look any of the detail in the icicles.
I used Nelly Nero’s action Gold Flake to give it some pizzazz.
Drop over to PaperHeartCamera for Touch Up Tuesday to see what magic is created there. Valerie

Hi;
I'm not familiar with 'touch up Tuesday' but it certainly sounds like fun. Your photos are very pretty. I need to get smarter on the whole touch up photo thing...
Those really do sparkle - love it.
Beautiful! I love your shine. Very nice. Thank you for stopping by too!
How beautiful. I need to learn to do some of these adjustments. It is just amazing what we can do with our cameras and computers.

You've changed your blog again - very nice.
I am intrigued by icicles and have tried to photograph them but not well.
Yours here are indeed sparkling, interesting changes too.

I love the "warm" feeling of the ice! Thanks for stopping by :-).
I am really enjoying your icicle pictures, how neat they are! So many things can be done with skillful editing, this is something I need to learn about.
They look like dripping gold. Fantastic job. One day I will join this meme. Take care.
Love the sparkle in these, Val. And your growing editing skills! Have a super weekend. – g
