Lol, I used to photograph flowers before frogs . I love to photograph still life floral pics and stuff from the garden, and enjoy messing around with textures in photoshop too. Ideally I would love to shoot more landscapes but unfortunately I'm not always able to get out much as I have chronic M.E which is pretty severe at the moment, hence the reason for mostly indoor photography.
Nice image, It has a beautiful painterly quality about it but i find the long green leaf sticking staight up slightly distracting. Everything else in the image has lovely curves & then the eye rests on that stalk & stops. easily fixed though.
Thankyou. The flower was on a white background. I used a few extra layers of a texture, which I blended using the soft light option, then roughly selected the areas where I did not want too much texture overlay within each layer, feathered the selection quite a lot on cut the areas out.
The texture is by Paree Erica over on Flickr, check out their collection and their group for resulting manipulations.
