This is a cosmos flower that I had photographed last year. After converting to B&W, I copied the original color image and set it to blending mode Color and opacity 50% to give it a faded color look. I also applied two of the my textures, one Shadowhouse texture, and finally a slight blur overlay.

Beautiful composition, Christopher. I too like the delicate look to it... the bg texture makes it even more special. TFS.

Lovely processing. I love what you did with the subtle colors and textures. In a perfect world I would like to see more petals to balance the large center, but, a small point.

Gorgeous. Love the composition, love the processing work done, love the subtle textures. It's like an antique painting or print. Nicely done!
