{Texture Tuesday} Free and Easy Edition

May 15, 2012 by Barb 22 Comments

It’s been a while since I participated in Texture Tuesday but when I went to bed last night I decided to lay there and go over some magazines for inspiration before I went to sleep.

I’ve heard that an idea will come to you in the morning if you try this. And, well, actually, it worked! On two levels. One was this photo. I had set the gerbera daisy on my night stand just to enjoy but I guess it whispered ‘Texture Tuesday’ to my subconscious mind while I slept.

The other was an idea for a tutorial that I need to get working on. I don’t have trouble writing the tutorial – it’s coming up with the the subject – that is the hard part. I’d say that this little exercise worked for me. It’s not easy to create, create, create. It doesn’t happen at the drop of a hat. I have to work at it, every day, all day. And now it looks like all night . . .

    I love the softness of the pink tones, and the nice angle. It looks like it is saying “Good morning” to you.

    Barb, this is a beauty.
    Everything is so soft, and the pink on the book is simply perfect with the flower.
    Surely one to be proud of!!!

    Your processing of this shot is very nice! The textures really soften the pink in the daisy. I really like it.

    What a lovely piece. The texture is subtle and works with the softness of your flower. I like the use of the book underneath the vase as well. Very nice.
