Mike,Thanks Keith and Uwe.
As for blending modes, I usually use overlay or soft. This one was overlay. I like the punch that overlay gives.
Mike
I agree. Overlay adds punch to the image which can be toned down by the opacity slider and I use soft if I want the texture to be subtle. Sometimes, I even duplicate the texture layer and use one layer as soft and the other as overlay with different opacity. Not sure why I do this. I just go with the flow of the image.Mike,
interesting because I used so far only "Multiply". But liking your images so much I tried Overlay with my script. It turns out that I can get the same effect in both cases, just have to use different sliders. Overall "Overlay" seems to give me more latitude.
Thank you Keith. This has always been one of my favorites. It is on my websites home page along side a version my wife Andrea did of her interpretation of my image.Mike - I love the poppy shot.

I didn't say anything about this when I saw it, but I wondered about the back and forth interaction and influence between the two of you. It would be difficult for this not to occur to some degree since you are both visual artists living and working in close proximity. I think the show would be very interesting.Thank you Keith.

We are thinking of doing a show with our images hanging side by side. Her version of my image. Could be interesting.

Thanks Jonas and to Uwe again. He suggested this idea. I realize that it's not a normal way of working for most, but I know we have all had shooting moments when we wish we could change something about the scene etc. etc.Mike, thank you for starting this thread.
I have visited it a couple of times. These images aren't my style at all, but they have inspired me and some day I'll have to try something similar.
Thanks also all contributors, you have made me look and think and admire!

Hi Mike,Cloud Landing
final composite, with lots of other adjustments.
Mike
Amazing. These are studio shots I like. Not so clean boring.Here is a studio shot created with layers. Shots of Leaf on white and textures used.
Lots of retouching later.
Mike
Thanks Uwe. Yes the textures come from painting on a canvas and then taking that shot and blending it with another canvas painting. You can go on and on and on with these kind of texture blends until you have quite a collection.Amazing. These are studio shots I like. Not so clean boring.
Are these textures painted originally?
Beautiful shot! You have a wonderful collection of tree images.
Thanks. We (I share a joint copyright with Bettina) have to revisit many of them.Beautiful shot! You have a wonderful collection of tree images.
