Playing with Textures

Textures are fun in photoshop. One can make your own textures and superimpose them on photographs and turn dull pictures into interesting art. There is no dearth of finished textures available on the internet and the choice of textures is infinite. This opens the door to the world of artsy photography or what some call the painterly effect. Here are some examples, which I have processed, today and I will post the non-texture with the textured ones for comparative purposes.
