The Daily Texture for 05/27/2015
Owls In The Grove

Owls In The Grove Texture
Today's Daily Texture is filled with the abundance of rich GREEN I'm seeing after all the rain we've had!  And of course, I had to add some of the browns I'm seeing in the feathers of the birds I've been watching this nesting season.  I used this texture on the series of four images shown below.  By using the same texture on all of the images in a series, it helps to pull the series together nicely.   Plus, all of these birds were photographed in the same location at the same time, so the lighting was the same on all {except the heron...he was in better light than the raptors}.   On all, I masked away the subject's background and added a duplicate of the texture on top, setting it to Color Dodge layer mode at around 30-40% on each to add brightness.  Because most of these were taken in low light, I also made some lightening and darkening adjustments on the merged images afterwards as well.
Like this texture?  Buy it here for only $2.  Commercial Use OK.
