The Daily Texture for 10/19/2015
​Country Spirit

Today's Daily Texture is filled with the glorious colors of a sunset glow over a country field.  Rich browns and golds, and a little of that old masters style yellow-green, along with a splash of light near the top make this one a keeper. :)  I used this texture with a barred owl photo I took last night.  The owl was almost in complete darkness and it took some serious editing to bring out her detail.  Once I did, however, I noticed this lovely golden glow in her feathers, which came from the remnants of a rapidly setting sun and the illumination from a nearby street light.  She worked perfectly with this texture, which I used as a background, and also placed on top  in multiply mode at about 30%.  I masked off the multiply layer on top, leaving it only on the area under the electric wire, where I wanted things darker.  After merging, I took this image into Topaz Impression to give her a more painterly look.
