Beautiful image, my Hollyhocks didn't look as pretty as these, in fact they weren't very pretty at all.

Thank you, Mohammad.
I created the effect by using a textured layer in Photoshop, which covers the whole shot. I then lessen the density of the textured layer, and, using the eraser tool, remove all the texture that covers the flower.

It's a useful tool as you can sometimes create something from a dud shot !
