Beyond Beyond

Kim has told us that we will not be getting a weekly reminder that she has posted, this could be cataclysmic for me!
I received the Texture Tuesday and went to work with it yesterday, I added it to the photo that I had taken and decided was 'the best' as instructed in the class.
Apparently there is a price for being late with Texture Tuesday and the link no longer exists!
Back to the drawing board.
here is my original using Kim's 'minus 34'

Then I got a little crazy and changed 'minus 43' from the original to a more purple hue, here is that version, which do you prefer?

here is a close up of one of the orchids, again with Kim's minus 34 texture. I just love the tiny frills and the yellow and purple combination. 

i would never put those two colours together in life, but, nature does it so beautifully.

I think I maybe spent more time getting close and around rather than above and below, lesson learned!
