 The texture is made from one image flipped four ways and merged with varying degrees of opacity using multiply. Percentages ranged between 25 and 75%.

Then, an image of an elephant (converted to some form of sepia) was merged with this mess using multiply. Opacity was adjusted.

Then another set of the complete texture was merged with harsh light.

Great image, that texture is fantastic! Thanks for sharing how you created the texture, I'll have to try that :-)

Colette, it now looks like a very graphic tapestry. Cool technique.

Very cool effect. It has a fabric-ish feel to it. I could see it as a cloth print.

Love elephants! Especially the babies. Beautiful shot and it works perfectly centered.

the texture gives this a dry and arid look which works so well for me combined with your excellent photograph .. :)

I like that idea of combining multiple passes of the same texture flipped four ways - it works well for you here, creates almost a natural framing around the elephant and complements the grasses.

Very good job, he looks like a ghost coming to life on the savanna.
