October Challenge #5 - Artist Inspiration at Oscraps— https://oscraps.com/community/threads/october-challenge-5-artist-inspiration.34201/

I am always fascinated by black and white photos as well as plants so my inspiration was from the first photo that Cindy shared. I used Nik Silver Efex to convert my photo using Full Contrast and Structure because I liked how it brought out the detail in the grains of pollen.

I blended three different papers for the background, then added the photo and overlay. I used a layer mask to erase parts of the photo so it would look like it was partially under the overlay.
