Aurora on Wednesday


This is my contribution for Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday. I know it's Wednesday already, but I still wanted to share this one with you.

This rose is one of the few that survived the cold temperatures, the rain and the storms and I thought I'd honour her with a little processing. I used two layers of Kim's freebie "Aurora" - I really like it on the photo, as it somehow integrates the brown spots on the petals in a beautiful way.

    So beautiful and your texture is really subtle. I like that.

    It's such a beautiful rose, too, Rosie! I agree with Ashley that the subtle texture is so nice.

    I'm so glad I was able to enlarge this to see it closer up! The detail is spectacular and your processing is superb! Great composition!

    So beautiful, I love yellow roses...they remind me of my mother, they were her favorite. :-)

    Lovely! I tried using Aurora on a few things I shot recently and I didn't like the outcome. Gorgeous texture, though!

    Gorgeous rose Rosie! Sounds like a tongue twister, doesn't it? Nice work with the textures too. ♥

    I used Aurora on my chicken/coke photo and I must have opacity'd right out of the shot! This is so pretty. I love roses, especially the yellow. :)

    This is so beautiful Rosie. The texture works perfectly. IT looks so fragile like very fine tissue paper. Beautiful processing!! :)

    This rose looks so fragile and beautiful. I can almost smell it. Love the texture, too. Thanks for your kind comment.
