Beautiful. Thanks for the link to the textures. I was just about to ask about your processing when I saw the link. Did you just mask out the bloom? That is the only section that doesn't look like it has a texture.

@Tracey: I did mask the bloom on this one ... on the image "Curl" I left the texture in the entire image changing the blending mode until I liked what I had achieved. These experiments with textures have been an exercise in taking images that I wasn't completely happy with and trying to turn them into something with unique character. Thanks for you feedback, Tracy ... I always appreciate your input.
@Mandy Provan: Thanks, Mandy ... I appreciate your kind words and feedback.

This photo is great. I love this flower. I love that it is off center and give your eye room to move in the photo.
