I guess it might be the season. Short cold damp days seem to be full of grey. I’ve continued capturing and sharing my grainy black and white street scenes but more than ever I’m drawn to colour.

Process and apps used
ProCamera ~ Initial capture:
Snapseed ~ crop to my favourite 1:1 ratio:
PS Express ~ boost exposure twice. Once fully (x1) and once x0.8 { image one }:
Snapseed ~ ‘Grunge’ filter with the central focus moved over the flower { image two }:
Blender ~ images one and two combined under the Luminosity blend method:
Alt Photo ~ ‘Daguerreotype’ black and white vintage filter applied { image three }:
Blender ~ image three and image one combined under the Color blend method:
Snapseed ~ selective adjust. The flower brightness boosted by 100%:
Modern Grunge ~ one of my favourite bespoke textures applied:
PhotoToaster ~ ‘Serenity’ filter applied. This filter is featuring in a lot of my images at the moment:

ScratchCam ~ additional texture applied { image four }:
Superimpose ~ image one layered over the top of image four. Image one masked with the exception of the flower. Layers merged under Hard Light boosting the saturation of the orange flower:
