Textured Tree Peony

So this is what happens at the end of a long day of house cleaning, laundry and cooking. I grabbed my camera, set the shutter to a long exposure and shot some peony leaves to use as a texture overlay. Took a few more shots of the white peony and then the fun began. Layered the green leaf texture file over the white peony and then processed in Color Efex. I wanted to try making my own texture files but it's not as easy as it looks, but I'll keep trying. Not bad considering I'm dog tired from my chores today.

A very "Springy" image. Thanks for explaining what you did. :toast:

Mark, thanks for your comments. I'm still working on creating my own texture files; it's not as easy as it looks.
