12/29/2015 - Dark Flight

The Daily Texture for 12/29/2015
Dark Flight

Dark Flight Texture
Today's Daily Texture is dark, rich, and dramatic, and is an excellent one to really bring focus to your subject!  I used this texture with my bald eagle photo below to help eliminate her background of branches and bright sky and bring the focus to her and the fish she'd just caught.  This was one of those once in a lifetime shots because I happened to be in the right place at the right time, and I didn't want the impact of the scene to be lost in tree foliage.

I used the texture as a background, and then duplicated it, placing it on top as a soft light layer at 100%.  I masked some of this layer off the bird's face, wings and fish to keep the lighting bright enough there.  Then I duplicated the texture layer again and placed it on top in Color Dodge mode at 100%, which helped to brighten and add interest to the image as a whole.  I usually only use that mode in lower opacities, but the 100% worked well for this image.
Like this texture?  Buy it here.  Commercial Use OK.
