Earl Moore Photography I was experimenting a bit with textured layers in Photoshop on this image. It’s clear to me I’ve got a ways to go before I really understand this practice but this flower image is one of my better efforts thus far. I don’t know I see any long term future with this for me, but an interesting exercise nevertheless.

Anita Jesse has done some nice work using this technique making me think I wanted to give it a try.

Practice is the only way we get better. I also agree Anita does some wonderful work with textures.

I know some people who use this a lot, sometimes successfully. Anita definitely does it well. I’ve never considered it my “thing” and haven’t tried it. This is a nice attempt though, I’d encourage you to stay with it.

I have dabbled here and there with textures. I often have to question my own motives if I am just using texture as a gimmick or that it actually adds something useful to the photo.

I admire a skillfully applied texture to a photo, and this is perfect subject matter for it. This one is quite nice with the texture and I think it’s fun (as well as creative) to experiment with the technique.
