Put this through DAP Benson, added a texture overlay, and some tonal contrast in NIK.
Comments Appreciated. Thanks.

Hey Jackie, Nice to see you posting. I like the texture overlay w/ the cracking effect. I can't even tell you used DAP. Did you use it on the BG before the texture? The composition is different and interesting. How's the kitty?:)

Nice composition, Jackie, and I really like the textured effect.

Nice image and application, Jackie.

Nice texture and effect.

I wonder if the petal on the LB could be fully shown to offset the image slightly.

But ... your image ... your vision.

I will be posting and commenting more regularly now. Mark I have nothing more to work with on the LRC (if that is what you mean). Sad to report that my kitty did not make it. 7 weeks of force feeding and she showed no interest in food and had had a stroke, so my sister and I felt it was the right thing to have her euthanized. She was only 7 and a dear, gentle soul. So heartbreaking. Hope to get back in the fray and make some comments on the w/e. Thanks for asking D. Also the Benson was down first and then lowered about 4 percent. BG texture was done last.

Jackie, Sorry to hear the kitty didn't make it. My heart goes out to you and your sister.

Beautiful image, and the BG compliments the flower very nicely. Sorry for your loss. My kitty of 16 years suffered a stroke and had to be put down also. Tough to lose a loved one. Take care.

Love the colors and the unique composition, Jackie. Nice cracked, scratchy texture. So sorry to hear the kitty didn't make it. :(

Love the image - that BG texture is very nice :)
Best,

Thanks for the kind words of support regarding my kitty Roxie, it was a pretty tough experience. And thanks for the comments.
