Vintage Daffodil

I did a texture overlay to give this an old look. I de-saturated it a bit and added some curve adjustments. I also added a canvas effect on the BG.

Denise, this is beautiful. I love the bg and the overlay you used.:)

beautiful! a great base image to start with and the texture is perfect for this. So very elegant :)
(will have to check the forum tomorrow, it took 10 minutes for this page to open.. either the site is running slow or my wireless is acting up again) :/

Beautiful composition, Denise. Nostalgic... from a forgotten era! Love the effect and bg.

Nice image and application, Denise.

Thanks for confirming the problem with the posts. I lost one the other day, but will let it rest as it was just a for fun image. Site indicated it was posted, but when I went back later it was gone. Still gone so presume it is in cyber-space someplace. Hopefully we will be back to normal soon, although I am still having blurps today with posting comments and images.

Gary and Mark ,Thank you both for the comments.
Mark, The site is still a bit sluggish today. Hopefully it will be up and running full speed soon.

Very nice, Denise. :) I love the tones, and the textures complement the flower nicely.
