This little beauty returned today. Dark eyed Junco. I thought I would post these pages. For those that were introduced to masks for the first time in this template challenge. Masking, is a powerful tool, once you become comfortable using them. I often create pages like these, many of them I have posted in projects. Same bird, two photos, one final image. Using a mask, the selection tool, and a gradient. Then the brush to touch it up. After doing the first one, I noticed that the feather was present twice in the image, so I redid it. Creating the second page. I will use these images in a project. The images have been greatly degraded, as the originals are 4,000 pixels x 2,800 pixels, reduced to 600 pixels.
Carole, I do talk to all the animals, even the smallest’s of insects. lol
