orchid art

[jetrim]

Following Wild Wassa's thread in the post processing forum, I've become somewhat intrigued with his layering process and decided to try my own variation. This shot was done in 4 layers:
Base - orchids hanging from a tree desaturated 35%

Layer1 - distressed concrete shot from straight overhead at a distance of @ 14' converted to sepia and set to overlay 90%

Layer2 - distressed concrete shot from straight overhead at a distance of @ 8' converted to B&w and set to multiply 45%

Layer 3 - distressed concrete shot from straight overhead at a distance of @ 4' saturated and set to exclusion 20%

Merged / highlight-shadow / unsharp masked at 9.9-20-5

Looking for feedback on whether I'm heading in the right direction or just way off base...
