Discarded

Macro photograph of a discarded bloom. Shot with my Canon Rebel T1i with Canon 50 mm lens and 12 mm Kenko extension tube. Used the PhotographyBB Masterpiece Art, Sketchography, Beautiful Disaster actions. I adjusted a variety of settings after running each action. Then masked and layered the actions. With Distressed Textures Chipped Paint overlay. Not fully the result I wanted. I spent several hours making adjustments, trying different brushes with the masks. Time to let it sit. Very close. Perhaps there was not enough separation between the subject and background bokeh of the original image.
