Textures and Their Effect

I have been using textures a lot.  I have been noticing how they can take a normal photo and give it a whole different look.  Here I have added a texture and given this fern a whited out effect. I am seeing this a lot on blogs. 

In this photo the texture gives it a dream like quality.

In this black and white photo a texture added enhances the emphasis of aging the photo.

Here, I also added a texture and it gives the quality of sand or the beach to the subject.
I enjoy playing around with the editing and hope I can learn more along the way.

    Love your style. The fern sent me over the moon. The delicate nature of a fern. Do not get me started on fiddleheads. Come check out my giveaway...

    Love the photos with texture and some day I will figure out the computer stuff and how to do that. Thanks for joining the party, Sherry.

    Your photos are so dreamy and beautiful. I've dabbled in photoshop, but there is so much to learn. I've seen some online courses are available. Did you take any courses or just learn on your own?

    Oh I must try some textures! I do use photoshop so that is a good first step right.

    Great blogs, I can see you put allot of care into what you do.
