Nikon D300, 105 mm macro; f/22; 5" exposure.
3 Layers overlaid on the 2 daisies: a macro shot of the single flower, one of my textures, and one by Pareeerica.

Some Topaz applied for some color and detail and vignette applied to the edges.
what an innovative image Barbara. I love the macro daisy as a bg and the way the two intertwined daisies reach up into the frame is delightful. I like the textures you chose, but would also like to see a version where the texture is a bit softer/muted.. mostly because I'm really liking the details in the two daisies, they make a great focal point. Beautiful :)
Thank you Denise and Cindy. I love interaction with some of my flowers. Usually I paint off much of the texture on my subject. This is the rare one where I didn't. I'll mess with a version where the texture might be toned down a bit.
Very creative, Barbara - I love how you mirrored the BG with the FG. Only tiny thing I see is a small black dot just to the top left side of the two flowers. I know it's probably part of the texture but I'd clone it out. Another stunning textural image!
Yes, now that you mention it, I do wonder where that little spec came from. I've cloned it out on my computer. Should I just leave this as is? Re-upload?
Thanks, Julie.
