I really liked these hanging baskets stored in the back area of Colasanti's green-
house. The variety and the shapes, textures and colors caught my eye and I shot a couple of photographs of them.
I opened the photograph in Paint.NET and used Curves on it as well as boosting the colors with an increase in saturation. I used Effects> Artistic> Ink Sketch> on it with the color full and a slight increase in line work.
Saving that file I opened it in Painter 8 and then used the Apply Surface Texture> Image Luminance> for additional textures. In PhotoPaint I used Filter Forge for the halftone frame altering the color to emphasize the aqua tints of the photograph.

Oh my, you are right lots of texture and designs. Never thought of taking my camera to a greenhouse. You are just a source of good info.

Thank you, Annette! Yes I got so many good photographs at the Greenhouse and their Gift Shop. They have a Market there too, cool place, a pond and many birds including peacocks! Had a great time.
