The Daily Texture for 09/21/2015

Commercial Use OK.
In having a discussion with someone the other day, I realized I didn't have any textures made which are predominately black and gray.  So many subjects go well with black and gray, so I decided Today's Daily Texture would celebrate these tones.

I paired this dramatic texture with another one of my Tennessee Walking horse photos.  In this image, I only used the texture as a background - I didn't place any more layers of the texture on top, as I felt it made the image too dark.  The horse had a golden glow of the sun on him, so I desaturated the photo slightly, in order to focus better on his black tones, leaving just a hint of color present.
P.S.  You may have noticed I missed doing a Daily Texture this weekend.  I have decided --  effective immediately -- The Daily Texture will go to 5 days a week, and no holidays.  I have worked very hard at this for almost a year now, only missing a day here and there, but I feel I need more time to work on some other projects as well as more time for family and friends.  So I invite you to continue to enjoy the Daily Texture 5 days a week instead of 7.  Thank you!   --Jai
