Filter the background

The image on the left has a filter called dark strokes added to it. The dark strokes add a contrast between the leaves in the background and pink flowers in the foreground. Also the leave are more distorted and blured while the flowers are more in focus creating a clear focal point.

For the image on the right i used a couple of filters, they are spatter, ink outline, and dark strokes. The spatter made the background look like it had little dots. Then the ink outline blended it the dots a little better and finally the dark strokes add the contrast and highlight of the image.
