Water Lily

Do you ever have to search through your images to find one you think would make a good Texture Tuesday?  Sometimes I do.  This week I navigated through Lightroom to find this water lily.  The image was rather ordinary.  I snapped it with my iPhone when I went to the Flower Fields in Carlsbad.  With a little texture help and some Photoshop manipulation, I even impressed myself!
I applied two layers of Kim's "Pumpkin Grunge" to lose the background and applied a layer mask to brush the texture off the flower.  Then it looked like the perfect vehicle for a little fantasy.  So I wrote a mini story about it.

I do like your picture, edit and story. It is amazing how different textures work with different photos. I do sometimes have to search to find an image I want to texture too.

Wonderful image for your little story. I love when textures help loose the background and the flower can shine, yours looks beautiful.

you've impressed me too! The black background is fantastic - like the way you inserted the text - nicely done.
