The Daily Texture for 01/25/2015
Midnight Rouge

I knew as soon as I finished this one, it would be a perfect compliment for some of my house finches -- specifically the males, as they have a gorgeous reddish/purple color tone which would blend well with the texture. Placing the bird photo on top of the original texture, I masked out the background behind the birds, revealing the texture underneath. I very lightly masked away some of the edges of their feathers as well, to bring the texture "into" their body. I was going to add another layer of the texture on top, but it made the birds too dark, so I scratched that idea. Instead, I added a gold reflector adjustment {using Topaz Lens Effects} across the top of the image to add a bit more glow. Afterwards, I brightened the entire photo a bit more to bring out that lovely glow and the glint of light in their little eyes. Aren't they just sweet? |
