    Hi Bob, I like it too...If this were mine I would do 2 things. Take a little off the stem and if possible add more room to the right. The textures you selected work well with the image...

    Dave makes good suggestions regarding the crop. Lotus seed pods are very attractive and I'd love to see more detail in the head itself but may not be possible without going to a macro lens? Your textures suit well.

    Bob, I like the texture...if anything, I wish it were coming through a little stronger. Like you, I find seed pods fascinating...somehow I can't convince my wife that they're as photogenic as I think they are ...Dave makes a good suggestion RE the crop from the bottom and adding some canvas to the right...nicely done!

    Bob, I like this one too. You did a great job pairing up the pod with the texture layers. The vignette looks nice also. I might add a bit of canvas to the right and take some off the backside if it were mine. I also might sharpen the pod head just a teeny bit. Nice colors and texture work! Be careful these textured images can be addictive.

    Hi Bob, I too like the texture you have added. A little off the bottom and a little added to the right would do it for me. Nice one!
