 This is some pussy willow my girls collected from Petone foreshore, I have a whole bunch of it play with :)
Once again I tried to add lots of different layers I particulary wanted to add some concrete texture but I kept on loosing the detail at the edges. With this image that was the challenge for me adding all the effects but still keeping the detail. I am hopeless at natural looking erasing!
The green patch is a bit of my lawn through the window in the background wasnt sure how to deal with that and the samll bit of another pussy willow in the top right hand corner

Beautiful! The subtlety of the overlay really softens everything without "glowing". Nice work.

This is great, you did well of adding texture and softness but maintaining detail. I really like the lighting as well!

Very lovely! I feel like I am looking through a gauze curtain -- excellent texture choice!

I love the softness to this photo with the crispness in the center and the pattern of the overlay really works well.

Somehow, the texture, although its not a soft one, makes the picture look even softer.
