Tulip Art

This wasn't what I planned to blip today but I got sidetracked. I wanted to take some close up images of this tulip which I spotted in the garden. In between heavy showers I nipped outside and cut it to bring indoors. I wanted to do something similar to what Viewpoint had done using her 7 Artisans lens. However I struggled to get the focus right when getting in really close and ended up with just one shot that I was sort of pleased with.

I downloaded it into Lightroom and processed it as normal then took it into Photoshop to refine it a bit. After an hour or so a couple of textures and a filter were added and it ended up how you see it. I guess I did learn something on the textures workshop on Thursday!
