One of the photos I liked was a photo of a beautiful pink orchid, taken in the glass house.
The photo on its own was a bit dark and flat, so this weekend I decided to try out some textures and blending techniques on it.
I'm getting quite the collection of textures now, and I tried out several with this image, viewing them side by side to see which one I really preferred. (It's really quite addictive!)
In the end I went with © Sisley from the Spring Painterly collection by Flypaper Textures, using the soft light blending mode. I really like how it lightens up the image and adds a painterly feel to it.
Now I'm going to have to play with some more photos from that trip and see what I can come up with :-)
