Hi, I have been playing around with photos and grunge. This grunge is the floor of my garage and a bit of work and the berries are a branch of hawthorn in a hedgerow I snapped on holidays in Tasmania. So all my own work.

I wouldn't have thought of adding grunge to a photo like that but it works really well. Nice work.

Thanks Drac and Eris for your kind comments . The end result is a bit more involved than just a grunge overlay, There were several masks to preserve the original berries and blurred gradient and sharpened areas to achieve this end result. It wasnt difficult but it took me a long time (fiddling around with different settings) to achieve this results.

That is gorgeous WBool The colors compliment each other so much. I think that one should be entered into a photo gallery. Really, I would hang that one up anytime. KUDO's
