I found some time today (ok, I skipped the washing, vacuuming, dishes, etc.) to do a tutorial on iheartfaces all about textures and layers. I then tried the techniques on a picture of my own. This is what I came up with.
The flowers were weaving in the wind, making them seem like they were glowing. This one branch with the bee seemed a little more stable, helping to keep the shot clear.
I think I learnt quite a few things about Photoshop in this tutorial. Definitely worth trying!
The tutorial again:
