Contingency

Hadn't used textures for quite a few years so this morning decided to experiment.

In the eventuality of not finding a suitable view or anything else to take a picture of today, this is my contingency photo!

Like the texture - they are fun to use and I wouldn't have known this had not been put up against the peeling wood. Like the vignetting too.

[Jorlam]

just like Catherine, i would not have known the 'backdrop' is an added texture - it is smoothly done. very pretty

[Ivan]

Nicely done, pleasing image...fav

[Sue]

Very well done. Like the pot too - I have one similar which has been in the family for years and just hangs around. Must use it for something useful some day

[Paula W]

Really must give textures a try as I see so many great texture shots. Works really well here :)

[Pyrrhula]

Beautiful done, very creative and a beautiful capture.

Love the delicacy of the blooms and the chunky pot, works really nicely :)

[Catherine Otley]

Great idea that works well. Suggestion, if you turned the pot slightly you would have also got the nice shape of the handle.
As you will see, our expedition was a washout for me, too!

[Dawn]

Lovely

[Maggiemae]

I've got a pot like this but never thought of using for flowers! It works beautifully!

[Elizabeth]

Creates a lovely background for the flowers. Is textures in PS or is it a different app?

[Karly]

Well done - such a lovely photo. I love using textures!

[Greg Kowalski]

Its always a good practice to experiment with different workflows, processes, and effects. I think its all part of the artistic process of making a great photo! Well done!

[Connie Little]

I like the effect you have achieved. Great image.

[Delwyn Barnett]

I love the background - great editing.

[Netkonnexion]

Cool.

[Michelle]

Loving the textures :)

[Jessika Panteleios]

Nicely captured and processed!

Sometimes (fairly regularly!) I just get completely stuck for a picture and no ideas at all come to mind.
@redy4et Thanks very much Elizabeth. I use PSE11, quite old software but by now I'm used to it.
