Jackie, this is really beautiful and a great use of textures. I think you left just the right amount on the lily itself to blend it in with the BG yet you still kept it a whole separate entity. My one suggestion would be to clone out a few of the very small tiny dots that are showing up inside the lily itself. Everything else works beautifully. Nice composition and beautiful "feel" to the image.

Jackie, you've been very creative today. The flower has very nice form, and I like how you have positioned it in the frame. Another elegant image!:)

Jackie, Nice BG texture work and Calla Lilys are one of my favs. I think the area above your sig. may need a bit more texture added back. Very lovely.:)

Nice image and application, Jackie.

Like the BG area.

I think it is just gorgeous. Of course, I'm partial to Cala Lilies and textures. Beautiful beginning image. Love how you shot the Cala Lily. The texture complements it. Nice work. :)

I like the texture you chose for this elegant blossom Jackie (flypaper textures are my own personal faves) Wonderful tones in this beautiful comp :)

Thanks for the recommendations Cindy, I think I will become addicted to Flypaper. They add so much character to a photo. Thanks for your comments everyone.
