Close Up Flower Hipstamatic Style

This is (once more) the same photograph I snapped of a pretty flower at Windermere in the Lake District on 20/08/11. This time I applied some photoshop filters to achieve the popular 'Hipstamatic' look - as popularised by the iPhone app of the same name. It gives a nostalgic, super-saturated look, with some texturing and background blurring and a darkened border to really emphasize the 'from the sixties/seventies' look that makes it so popular.

Super-saturated flower

I took this in the Lake district on 20/08/11.

I really loved the colouring of the leaves, and thought to deepen and brighten using the Hue/Saturation layers in Photoshop CS3.
