visiting my parents in the country at the weekend I (of course) snapped a fair number of shots. Back at my computer I decided to play with adding texture and the different effects of the same texture when applying different blend modes in PSE. I used the warm sun texture from Kim Klassen. If you want to see lots of other uses of this texture then visit her new
texture Tuesday link up.

I think I like the llama best, though they are all great! I've never tried linear blending mode. I'll have to try that!
Playing with textures and blending modes is so much fun! Lovely shots, Helena- my favourite is the first -I love the clarity and purity of the flower against the warm background.
I'm a flower girl so no.1 is my favorite, but the others are also great! Love your use of textures...
Love the linear burn on the Llama.
Love the images! Isn't it so much fun "playing" with textures & such?!
Cool llama photo! The texture makes him pop right off the screen.

I am amazed at how just a few blending modes can change a photo from just OK to ravishingly beautiful!
Wow. Great job. V
Hey, we're both playing today! I love, love, love that path.

What extraordinary photographs Helena they are wonderful. The Llama is my favourite. I must admit I don't have a clue about all the techniques you have used but the affects are amazing! xxx
The Llama is my favourite, then the last one Oh how to choose!! I am off to try the linea burn blending mode x thanks
Hard to choose a favorite -- they're all fabulous -- but I think I'm a llama girl at heart.
I've never thought that blending the color burn modes with textures can look pretty like those photos. I'm loving the flower, it looks like a painting I could hang that straight on the wall. Great job.
i love the llama image but they are all wonderful!
I like them all but the first is my favourite. You've made me want to go play - tis no wonder I never get any housework done :-)
Great use of the texturing. I love them all, but the stream is my favorite.
Bright blessings,
Kathy
I love the beautiful tones you have achieved in these flowers, exquisite, deliciously attractive. Really beautiful. A hug.
Love the photo of the Llama. Linear burn blending (I've yet to discover what that means!) really brings out the hairs and detail around the edge. I want to experiment now!
