This is one of the first poppies to bloom and fade in our spring garden.  I applied a texture to the image.  To me, it didn’t seem right to gaze upon its unfiltered demise.

I’ve been fiddling with my images lately.  (You might have noticed yesterday’s post – Morning Friends)

This image was originally posted last April (see Spring’s Serenade).  When I first posted it I shared it with some friends and mentioned I thought it would be a perfect image for a textured effect.  Well, I finally got around to trying one on.

It changes the feel of the bright, vivid original image.  You should look at both and see which you prefer.
