The Daily Texture for 06/15/2015
Sepia Sky

Today's Daily Texture is a rich, abstract, sepia brown sky.  I paired this texture with a photo I took of a juvenile bald eagle, as I knew the colors of this one would blend well with this eaglet.  The eagle's background was grayish-white, as it was cloudy when he was photographed.  I placed the texture on top and set it to hard light, which made the texture fill the background.  It darkened the bird a bit too much, so I masked some of that layer off the bird's face, wings and tail.  Then I duplicated the texture again and placed it on top, setting it to soft light at 47%.  This allowed the colors to become richer, and the eagle's feathers picked up the tones from the soft light layer as well.
