How Many of You Have Tried Adding Textures to Your Images?

[DonSmith]

Every once in a while I like turning my inner artistic child loose during processing and I play with texture overlays. My favs are from Flypaper Textures. It's easy to do and adds a painterly look to my images. Here is one I did earlier this week while visiting family in Northern California. My wife Beri and I went our for an early morning walk at sunrise and there was some ground fog. I had my eye on this Oak snag and had been waiting for the right atmospheric conditions. The straight shot with was cool but by adding (2) textures, it elevated the look and feel of the image. Would love to hear your thoughts...

I have never tried it, I may have to give it a shot

I don't do it often, but it sure is fun 🙂

Yes! All the time. I love a painterly look so textures have been my bread and butter forever. This is a gorgeous image!
