Images with added texture during post processing have really caught my attention over the last few months. I decided to try it on a few and the above image is one. Is it no longer a photo and now digital art? Or is it just more than basic post processing?
Below is the original image with only basic post processing.
And straight out of the camera before any post processing.
This is an Albino Mexican Gold Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) which is rare and only found near Bartlett Lake in Arizona.
Different Isn't Wrong, It's Just Different 
All three images are lovely but I definitely like the first with the added texture. I had no idea there was an Albino Mexican Gold Poppy.

Thank you Lindy! I shoot in RAW and to the right of the histogram which is why the straight out of the camera image is blah. RAW images are always flat and need some basic post processing to liven them up.
