Hi folks, first post here and let me say what an awesome forum to stumble across with what seems a great community.
So here's what I did:
I layered the image over the background with blend mode set to soft light, gaussian blur set to 4.9.
Then I added a curves adj. layer to help warm up the tone of the wooden vase and the image in general; I pulled the red curve up slightly and the blue curve down slightly.
I added a brightness adj. layer for the whole image.
Lastly, I dodged the shadows in the center just a bit to get rid of the dark spot.
Hope y'all like it.
