Old Glory, the Work Horse
Here is an image I created for Kim Klussen's Texture Tuesdays. I shot the flag image with my iPhone camera at a bank here in Huntsville. I processed it in one of my layers apps (Backgroundz? Blender? Can't remember - senior moment!) to add my apartment building image - also shot with my iPhone Camera, in Houston.
I took the processed image into Photoshop to use Kim Klaussen's textures, May Magic 2 with a linear dodge at 100%. Then I dropped it all into one of my custom masks and gave it a lens flare and a drop shadow.
I usually like a little more subtle effect with textures but when I dropped this one in, it made me think of a flag that was battle-worn but still serving and I liked it. How about you?
perfect. absolutely perfect!

Love the grunginess and the upward angle of this. Lots of energy.
