That metal look really brings out something very different in flowers. I like it. (Judy's tune goes well with it!)

My goodness, that's a lot of textures! And it worked beautifully!

I like the riot of colours and things in this, it is quite pleasant, although I do find myself somewhat mystified as to what it is supposed to be about. I like how the textures change from top to bottom.

The blue frame I find very distracting!

As a thumbnail, that sign on the slanted horizon line looks like a woman dancing. Quite beautiful, Judy.

One of the best so far in this SC. I think this kind of thing is where textures come to life, where they really flourish so to say. When you have a picture (or pictures) that [possibly] by themselves would not work, but combined, or combined and textured, they come to life and have a story, visual interest, beauty. This is where textures really work.

Although, from my "uppity 1X POV", the birds are kitsch! I hope nobody gets offended by that statement. It comes from hearing over and over, "NOOOOOOO!!!!! Not birds, again!" Anyway. I mean the flying birds, not those on the line.

Also, I wonder if you tried cloning out (or somehow altering) the bottom left hand corner. That dark triangle there calls for a lot of attention, and I'm not sure it benefits the photo to call attention to that corner. Maybe you're the kind who wouldn't clone out something like this, but I would try it. But it's not my photo :)

Almost like a frontside/backside of a postcard at the same time. I like the picture.

Beautiful image, and I echo Judy/Kelli's feelings. However, for me the heavy black top/bottom frame takes away from the whole - it sort of almost flattens it out, like it's stuck onto something dark and hard, without adding any beauty to the picture itself. But that may just be my own perception, and I'm sure that many will love it.

Yeah. I like htis. Street photography isn't normally associated with overlays/textures, but here that approach works wonders.
