Last week I started a thread asking how backgrounds of some flower images were achieved. For me, the thread was particularly outstanding with many helpful contributions ranging from technique to citations of other excellent UHH threads and articles. I highly recommend this thread if you are interested:

You are a natural! The two close-ups are quite beautiful. Are you going to start shooting subjects to make your own textures? That's fun too

Thanks Linda. The backgrounds are actually the original photo. First I put the image through Topaz Impressions, then added a texture and in Topaz Texture. That seemed like the best way to get colors in the texture that blended harmoniously with the subject. Then I brushed back in the subject. Pretty much like the tutorials instruct in the initial thread. Thanks for your help again!
