Tummies are full, gifts are unwrapped, kids are happy, now it's time to relax on the couch until the next family meal tomorrow. 🫄🏻

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗣𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗹𝗳𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲! 🎄 Do you have any Christmas traditions?

In our family, we kick off Christmas by watching The Muppet Christmas Carol at my in-laws around noon on #Christmas Eve (this was the 23rd time for me). Then we have an early afternoon lunch of breaded carp with potatoes and sauerkraut (don't lift your plates just yet, because Santa's left a little money underneath, and you're only supposed to find it after the meal!). After that, we brace for the children's excitement and unwrap gifts. Later, we head to my parents' place, who only live 10 minutes away from my in-laws. More food, more gifts, and then we all gather on the couch to chat, drink, snack, and watch TV. Which is exactly where we are now.
Tomorrow, it's turkey time at my in-laws, and on the 26th, we're at my parents again with my aunt's family. And then, the madness is over.

Same flower, two edits.

I wanted to see how much the mood changes just by how I guide the eye in Darktable.

Photo 1 Pastel Noir:
This one is mostly built with a vignette. I used it to darken the edges and keep the center soft, so the flower feels calm and a bit “noir” without getting heavy. As you may have recognised, the leaves between the flower petals are not fully desaturated.

Photo 2 Yellow Pop:
I used a parametric mask plus a drawn mask to knock down the background (desaturate + darken), and then added more chroma to the blossom so it actually pops instead of just being “selective colour for the sake of it”.

The whole point of this was practice: I’m trying to get faster and cleaner with masks.

Pastel Against the Gray

Not sure how to name this style... Gothic Pastel? Dark / Moody Pastel Accent?

#fotovorschlag I chose this thistle as Joker/wild card. I love photographing thistles, especially in autumn when they've aged and turned silvery-gray. I also like the background of this photo; the lines of the grasses give it a cubist feel. #macro #bokehphotography #bokeh #bokehlicious #thistle #thistles #nature #naturephotography #autumn #photography #fediverse #macrophotography
