Day 109 Split Toning

I have been wanting to experiment with split toning {Split toning refers to the collection of darkroom techniques that used chemical processes to tint the shadow tones of a print with one color and highlight tones with another color. The typical split contrasts warm and cool colors (such as yellow highlights versus blue shadows). Split Toning was originally used to colorize black and white images but may be applied to color images as well. by CM's} and decided tonight was the night.  Not sure if I really like the results, but here is my attempt.   Remember this posting?  Our Maple tree is blooming.  I never realized how beautiful this tree is while in bloom.  I love it!


And this photo is in no way related to the first, but it was up on my PS screen when I turned my computer on tonight. {and I just realized I posted a random photo of my DD with my last maple tree shot, how fitting}  I started to edit it last night and didn't like it.....there seems to be a trend starting???   Tonight I didn't think it was all that bad. :)

    Congrats on your win! That is such a great photo! I'm going to have to go search split toning on CM tonight. Their site is not working well today when I actually want to get on. Figures! :)
    Good talking to you yesterday. We'll have to plan an evening in the coming weeks so we can chat some more after the kiddos go down. Hope Estelle is doing well. :)
