Love me not...

... very definitely not!

Most editing with this one done in Photoshop. A few layers to do a few different things. First, a radial gradiant fill to lighten the centre of the image set to soft light blend mode at around 60% opacity. Then, a levels adjustment layer to pop the colours - you just bring in the pointers to the edges of the histogram and then move the middle pointer to the left a little. On top of that, a nice pastel yellow colour fill layer set to around 20% opacity and using multiply blend mode. Add in a Hue/Saturation layer with saturation boosted by +15 to zing up the colours. Then... flattened.

Last thing - sharpening. Duplicate the background layer, Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask, used something fairly subtle - and blend mode of luminosity. Flattened. Saved.

Tip of the day:
Not really connected with today's shot, but it is something which is always worth thinking about and that's 'blinkies' - if you have your camera set up to show areas of over-exposure then, you get them flash white and black when you preview the shot - blinkies. So... this article explains why the blinkies matter!
