Marvelous clarity, Maggie! Fabulous choice on the pos-processing texture!! Splendid image!

Great composition and processing Maggie!! Lovely shot!

Simply beautiful, love the seed heads almost look 3D, and the light is beautiful. great use of texture on your 1st go. Ive not tried it yet, somethiong else on the list to try. LOl

Maggie this is ,a brilliant capturelovely details

This is really beautiful Maggie – well done with the treatment, I’m about to get PS for the first time and can’t wait to delve into the world of textures!

Beautiful capture.

Nice capture!

Before I read your explanation, I wondered if these were real! Adorable and I can’t really see the texture, but somehow the tops of the seedheads just pop (pardon the pun). Great work! I think you should make this more of an announcement:
And now, for the first time in history, Dinghy uses (big pause here) TEXTURE!

Beautiful work and photo, Maggie.

What a fantastic image! Beautifully captured and great use of textures!

Perfect in every aspects!! Such brilliant composition!!

great shot magie

Very, very beautiful – I really like that purple spot in the back within all that green. Amazing detail.

VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!

This one’s a beauty, well done..

A great shot:)

Absolutely wonderful and the added texture makes it that much more so. I love working with a great photo I have taken by adding some texture or brush effects. I love this. :)

just beautiful!!

Maggie, I was looking at the “Popular” photos RB lists (because we were discussing the effects of the list in a forum) and this is on page ten today. And here you claim to be new to using texture. Heh.

honest its my first go! but think i hit lucky with the lichen on a rock i’d taken on another day.. I just plopped it on at 37%and merged..voila! nothing fancy at all.. especially compared with what folk are doing here on the bubble – thanks for the headsup (!) and will go peek at the pop pages.. what a thrill! and boy was i extra nervous in posting it!! what was the forum by the way..? (nosey or what…LOL)

brillent comp, its all been said wonderful Maggie
