 In RAW -- adjusted contrast, brightness, and saturation (maybe--not sure). Also sharpened a touch in DPP.

In PaintShopPro7, I cropped it.
Then, I did a color mixer adjustment layer and converted it to bw. (red=82, green=12, blue=8)

Then, I used the eraser tool to "erase" the bw off of the flowers. merged those two layers.

cloned a fence post out of the upper corner.

Then, duplicated the layer.

Under "colors", selected "colorize" and my settings were (I think) hue=33, saturation=88.

merge layers.

use clarify at "5" a couple of times.

duplicated the layer. used the "saturation up" thing on the flowers, then used the layer palette slider to "turn it down" some.

Add a vignette.

Add border

Resize for dpc.

(This isn't exact, but it gets it pretty close)

I keep meaning to come back and tell you what an awesome job you did with this. Really lovely editing! I'm particularly fond of the way the sepia blends so well with the color from the flowers. Lovely and crisp detail throughout, too. Gotta bet the couple loves this.

Very nicely done. Great colors and details. I particularly like the whisper of ribbon leading down the edge of her dress. From a DPC perspective--- 6.35 in a FS with flowers(and a wedding image)! Wow! Good work.

Beautifully done. A nice capture before the processing, and you've used the processing to bring out the important elements of the image wonderfully. Nice job!

The color / duotone here is just lovely. I attended a wedding this weekeng, so the feeling is fresh in my mind.

A perfect fit for a memorable occasion. +fav

Didn't get to all the commenting that I wanted to do before the challenge was over. I thought this was such a beautiful photo. I like how you muted the colors of the flowers to kind of go with the whole ivory-like tone of the photo. Wonderful capture.

Nice post-processing – especially like the color-isolation of the flowers.
