The Daily Texture for 06/25/2015
Hawks Domain
Today's Daily Texture is filled with a variety of earthy colors in brown, gold and sage green, along with some soft deep blue at the top. I had the pleasure last night of photographing a Sharp Shinned Hawk after he caught his prey and this texture blends beautiful with his image. I placed him on top of the texture and masked away his background, leaving a little bit of the ground showing -- but making sure texture was covering the "details" of the prey. I darkened the feet area of the bird image a little, and also darkened the bottom of the texture layer too, just to tie him into the ground a bit more. I then duplicated the texture and placed the new layer on top, setting it to soft light at 50%. Then I desaturated that texture layer completely. I duplicated that specific layer, placed it on top, and set it to color dodge at 57%. After merging all, I adjusted the contrast a bit more to complete this image. | Like this texture?
