The Perfect Calm Petite Background Collection features 1 painted clouds background in 12 color tones which you can easily blend with your subjects who are on ground or water level.

I always wondered what I might do with this photo. It's been sitting for years on my hard drive, and when I stumbled upon it this morning, I thought it might work well for this background. Because I designed the bottom part of the background to be very smooth, it was easy to blend him in on ground level with the background. I was careful and gentle with the masking on the bottom to allow the grass to show, so he would be grounded well. I think the clouds provide him with a much more pleasing background than the original photo!

I wanted to try one of the darker versions of the background, which is perfect for those nocturnal subjects. I pulled one of my photos of Ollie, a favorite wild barred owl I followed for many years. Of course, the photo was taken in the daytime. But it transformed nicely into a night version with this dark version of the background. I duplicated the background and placed it on top in multiply mode, at about 30%. Then I masked away the upper part of that layer, to keep her face and neck feathers nicely lit.
