Lovely Spring Pansies

Description

A grouping of Spring Pansies. These flowers always remind me of cheerful faces, moving on the breeze. Here in Southern Oregon, we can plant these flowers in the Fall and they will bloom all Winter. How's that for a little Winter cheer and a little touch of Spring fever.
I applied a texture to this image that was taken in my garden in Southern Oregon. I then exposed the Pansies that I wanted to stand out more. I processed the image in Nik Color Effects Pro and finished the processing in Topaz Impression2.
Texture by Jai Johnson.
