Bruised Saffron

Five

Another shot taken on a walk on the lovely Doctors Point Beach just to the north of Dunedin. These same people appear in a similar shot but I processed this one quite differently which shows how a different textures can give the same scene a whole new look. As well as...

Daisies

Flowers are my easy option when it comes to photos, they stay still -well the ones inside do anyway, don't talk back and go well with textures and today I felt like an easy photo to process after several aborted attempts with other photos.I started off adding one...

Circles of your mind

Here I used five of our 'flypaper 1' textures.I find that using several textures at a gentle opacity, really helps build up interesting depth and atmosphere!Pomeii StuccoBruised SaffronRaw LinenWhite ShagreenElysium
