the road less traveled

I have been wanting to play w/ adding textures to my photos for a while and finally found the perfect photo. I just love this picture of our little boy walking out to the beach - he was determined not to walk on the little trail and wanted to forge his own path - I added a texture overlay that was a free download from Flickr and can be found here. I just found this one too and it looks like fun

if you want to add one to your picture in PSE just drag the texture layer over your picture - the select the overlay layer in your layers menu. Then you adjust the opacity to the level you want (b/t 25-50 %). You can use the eraser tool if you want to erase the layer over a subjects face.
