Sweet Battleship Textured Flower
Happy, happy Tuesday! I have a blissfully empty week ahead ending with a weekend away for a women's retreat, so it is definitely a happy week for me!
I think my sweet shots have been almost all of my daughter, so here's a collage of my boys:
I was glad to get enough light from the sliding glass door. Though I've apparently been seeking light and avoiding flash too avidly. When I picked up my camera today my daughter thought it meant we were going outside. :)
And for Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday:
Just one layer of Serendipity Soft Light 100% opacity. I brushed some of it off of the flower because I like the bright colors, but a very simple edit overall. I really like the coloring and darker edges and scratches/texture in this new texture. Terrific!
Per feedback from comments, I've edited this post to add:
The text definitely needed to be softer and have some texture, so I put it under the texture layer and lowered the opacity. I like it better, do you? Keep the gentle feed back coming; I still have a steep learning curve to climb. I'd love help climbing it faster.

Fabulous texture for this shot!! beautiful
Your boys look lost in concentration!! cute.. Have a great day.. xxx Julie
These are all amazing!! Great shots♥
They are so deep into the game! Great edit of the tulip! It pops out so colorfully!
Tulips are one of my favorite flowers. I love the contrast in this image, just lovely use of the texture.
Crazy intensity on the texture! luuuuuuv the boys playing battleship...the wheels are turning!
Such fun shots of the boys :) I love how the color of the texture enhances this image. Love the vibrancy of the flower! xoxo
Very lovely.

I so agree - absolutely terrific!!
What a gorgeous tulip. Your son looks adorable. I loved playing Battleship with my brother.
Wonderful. V
So pretty, love the pop of color it exudes even with texturing.
Stunning tulip!!!
Great job on the tulip. It is striking.
Great job with the tulip!
That tulip is phenomenal! The colors, the texturing! I am proud to see the text. Happy faced critique...okay? Try placing your text down below the top layer. It will make it softer and less the center of attention. You can also try lowering the opacity or trying the soft light mode. Please know that I am only encouraging you...not being critical...I know that you don't want this to be the center of attention of your lovely work. You are doing a great job!
lovely tulip. ours have not even come up yet.
Gorgeous tulip! The texture and color are striking.
Too funny that camera time means outside time to your daughter. My little boy tends to think the same thing.
Amazing Tulip! Have fun at the retreat, that sounds like fun!
Really beautiful shot. I like 100% opacity too. I like the photos darker. I have been recently playing battleship with my boys. Very cute.

really BEAUTIFUL work!! and such a lovely blog - so glad I found you!!
Tulips...my favorites! I love Battleship. I used to play with my brother. Great shots!
This is totally delightful! I didn't realize it was a tulip until I looked closely. Beautiful!
Love the collage...my boys have the same game!
And your tulips are so pretty...
Great job Cedar! I think the bright warm tones of the flower are great with this texture...and the delicate pattern shows off the texture too! nicely done!
Just a hint about type - less is always more. It's just psychology, because we read without thinking...even when you can hardly see it. Between you and me, type is over-rated. ;)
love,

Look at the concentration on your boys' faces. :)
I LOVE that tulip shot. That's just so beautiful!
Love that tulip! So funny that y our daughter automatically thought you were going out. You got some great light!
Love the vibrandt colours and varied textures. And I think the edit worked really well to blend the text in.
I love how concentrated your boys look. Great shots!

Beautiful flower. The colouring is stunning. I prefer the edited version with the altered text. I like using text on my altered photographs & always try to blend it into the background without shadows or highlights.
so very beautiful.
thank you for linking up with texture tuesday.... xxo, kim
Those are fabulous. :)

Very pretty...the color is so vivid :)
I really like the pics of the boys. Suddenly I feel like we should get Battleship. :) That's very funny that She thinks you guys are going outside when you get your camera. LOL And the tulip shot is great! I agree that the text under the texture is better. I like. :)
