I love the morning glories that climb and tumble over so many fences in the East Village Arts District of Long Beach, California (very near where I live). I captured this cluster when I was doing one of my first photo walks with my new Lensbaby. I was later playing with textures in post-processing and became very excited when I saw how much the morning glories loved this texture (“Liberte” – Tableaux collection) from Leslie Nicole’s French Kiss Textures. (Olympus E-5 & Lensbaby Sweet 35, 1/100 sec., ISO 1000, late afternoon sun, handheld.)

This is perfection. The texturing suits the flowers beautifully. Harmonious colour.
Thanks very much, Bette. You may not be surprised to know that I tried the oil paint filter on this too. ;) In this case, the texture was definitely the best match.

Thank you very much, Teresa! I went through my French Kiss textures and tried a couple before this one, but this one just clicked!

This is exquisite, Celeste, with such beautiful and true color….so nice to see this on a very, very, very cold and snowy morning here in Toronto….
Thank you so much, Katherine! I had so much fun playing with this one. It’s cold here too – for us, anyway. No doubt the snow will afford you some photo opportunities.

Wow! This is breathtaking! Looks like a lovely watercolor!
Thank you, Angie! I think this photo was destined to take on the look of a painting, just that I didn’t realize it right away. :)
