Texture Tuesday....Dream-Like Edition...

This week on Texture Tuesday, Kim challenged us

to create a wispy, dream-like photo.

I used a photo of a water lily, I took on a water hazard, at a golf course.

It was a warm sunny day, in Indian Wells, CA.

I used three of Kim's textures:

Sybil, Leslie and Violet.

Then, I softly removed a bit of the textures from the lily,

and the water line.

I desaturated  the background copy, to tone down the bright 

pink of the lily, and the brightness of the leaves.

It all softened the original, quite a bit,

and gave it a dreamy, painterly feeling.
