Well what I did was as follows:

  1. Transfered to Photoshop cc (I load all my photos originally into Lightroom).
  2. I cloned out the flower at the bottom left and the petals at the bottom right.
  3. kk_plastersquared, multiply @ 100% opacity
  4. Created a layer mask to the texture and using a soft brush took the texture off the flower in focus with a brush at 50% opacity.
  5. kk_enlightened, softlight @30% opacity.
  6. Created a layer mask to the texture and using a soft brush took the texture off the flower in focus with a brush at 50% opacity.
  7. Duplicated the background layer and run the high pass filter, hard light @ 20% opacity.
  8. Flattened the image.
  9. Added a hue & saturation adjustment layer and increased the saturation very slightly.
  10. Text layer and watermark added.

The pre straight out of camera shot is here below
