Holly and bokeh

This is my first attempt at adding digital texture to a photo in PS. I used a soft brush & low opacity on a masking layer to remove the bokeh from Holly and the table, thank you Lyn @ltodd for your help. I had fun playing around with the different free textures. Critique welcome.

High 5! Well done and you did something some people don't think to do and that is to use a mask to remove some of the affect in unwanted places.

Beautiful!

I wondered how it would be possible to clear away unwanted textures...thanks for the input! This is lovely...a nice indoor past time until the snow melts!

Wonderful work, Kathy! I never got around to experimenting with textures, but I read about it, and I think this one is extremely well done! Oh, and Holly is very cute!! :-))
