@ordinaryimages: Thanks, Jerry. No tripod ... 6am is lunchtime in Larry World. :)
@Bettina: Thanks, Bettina.
@Anna.C: Thanks, Anna. As usual, it was difficult to chose color or bw, but the bw tones won me over. Glad you like it.
@Marilyn Cornwell: Thanks, Marilyn.
@k@: Thanks, Karine. I'm always amazed at how course texture can convey soft and romantic.
@danou-yepa: Thanks, danou.
@MARIANA: Thanks, Mariana. I was drawn to the side view of the petals. Hope you're having a great weekend!
@Barbara: Thanks, Barbara. For many of the textured overlays that I use I photograph something with varying degrees of texture, (concrete walls, stone, etc. Or another great source is wall paper. Get a sample book and photograph some patterns that appeal to you.) Then, in Photoshop, put the textured image on it's own layer and play with the blending modes. To get the frame within the frame, simply add another overlay and use 'free transform' to resize it. Finally, mask away portions of the overlays to retain or reveal the desired look.
