The Daily Texture for 11/01/2015
Fall Color Pop

This texture is bursting with brilliant fall colors!  I paired it with a beautiful blue heron I photographed at Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee a couple weeks ago.  Originally, I had the bird on the right, facing to the left, with the texture underneath.  Something wasn't quite right...and here comes a valuable tip:  when you're masking away a background with the texture underneath the subject and things aren't quite suitable for you, move your subject layer around, as it can create a whole new perspective!  First, I moved the bird layer farther to the right, but that still didn't appeal to me.  Finally, I chose to mirror image {reverse} the bird layer, which placed him on the left.  And then I knew it was right...the contrast between his stunning blue feathers and that pop of orange made the image for me!
