Photo Art Friday, week 5

This week I tried out Bonnie's tutorial over at Pixel Dust Photo Art.   I took a photo of our Cimicifuga plant during the last week of September.  It is a tall plant and also goes by the names - black cohosh, bugbane, snake root.  I like the creamy racemes this plant produces, quite striking.



The texture I used to create this photo art is available at Pixel Dust, and is called Scratches.

Here is the original photo before processing.



I continued using the same tutorial without the texture, using only filters, on another photo.


A interesting effect! 

Here's the original photo



The bush is called Viburnum, withrod or sometimes wild raisin.

Well Done! You did a great job using Bonnie's texture on your first photo. Which by the way looks awesome in it's original state as well.
I like the colors you used in the second photo/edit. Isn't it fun o play around with photo's to see what can be done with them!

I've got to go watch that tutorial too! Lovely effect -- you can tell its there but there is something subtle about it too. Very nice!
