The Daily Texture for 06/29/2015
Sleeping Fawn

Sleeping Fawn Texture
Today's Daily Texture is filled with luscious shades of light and bright sky blue, along with natural browns and a touch of mint green.  It was perfect for my fawn image, which is what provided the inspiration for the texture. :)  This kind of image -- with foliage surrounding the subject -- is a tricky one to blend with a texture.  I tend to choose a texture which has a color similar to the foliage, as for the image to make sense, I'm going to have to leave some of the foliage showing throughout the image.  If I have a specific texture I want to use, I will often change the color of the foliage in my original image to more closely match the texture. {which is what I did here, as the grass in the original photo is bright green}  

I placed the fawn image on top of the texture and I masked away MOST of the background and ground around the fawn, but not ALL of it.  I try to have as much of a gentle transition as possible as the texture fades into the grass and as the grass sweeps across in front of the subject.    After I completed the masking, I duplicated the texture layer and placed it on top of the fawn.  I set this layer to overlay, with really made the colors pop nicely in the image.  The baby deer, however, was a bit dark.  So I masked away some of that overlay layer to reveal the true colors and brightness of the deer.
