I'll go one more time so I can learn some more :). I can't remember if I posted the original shot on this or not. The original was the daffodil with a Meloncholytron filter from Flaming Pear applied. I took that image and soften and desaturated it just a touch and then added a craquelure filter in PS CS2. Thanks for all of these challenges Denise.
Thanks to all, the comments on being tight are something I'm fighting to overcome. At my previous haunt I always heard move in, move in. The more forums I visit here, the more I see and feel a better presentation with a bit more breathing room. Gotta work on that.
Love the texture and colour scheme Dave, looks like a faded postcard. Nice treatment here. Like the dark part under the petal to give it good dark to light contrast.
