1/160s at f/2.8 ISO 400
My cone flowers did not do very well this year. Something really loved them alot and they always looked so tattered and torn....a sweet treat for some critter. I have been photographing a variety of textures that I see around me to be used as layers in future images when I feel like doing something different. I am still learning about the textures and layers...it is quite fun to play with. Textures from rocks in the garden were added in layers to this lone cone.

Awesome textures and layer work, Laurie! I love the colors here, too. You are such a fast learner. I remember when you got extension tubes and suddenly the next day you'd completely mastered them. Now you've mastered this. Will you please slow down for the rest of us? LOL #6553905frank w. degenhardt October 22, 2008
