Hibiscus - Take 2

I posted the straight shot of this image in the Flora Gallery a few days HERE

I've started dabbling with textures and tried some on this image. I'm certainly interested in your input on this.

Processing consisted of 2 textures, and a little Nik Color Efex Pro work.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts from the experts here in the Photo Art Gallery!!

Keith, just my opinion, but if you want the essence of the rest of the flower to come through and not just the center, I think these textures are maybe not soft enough for that. If, on the other hand, you wanted only the center without the rest actually being the flower, then it's totally cool.

I think I would like it better if you cut the texture back on the main focal point. I like what the textures have done for the BG. Nice to see you experimenting with textures Keith.
