An Egret for Texture Tuesday

It's time for Texture Tuesday again. Today I had the urge to do something different, more extreme and not the way I usually work with texture.


I saw this Great Egret a few weeks ago at the lake. The photo is nothing special, so I decided to alter it completely and make it - well, unrealistic, I guess.

I blended the photo with Kim's texture "golden" (my go-to texture) in vivid light at 100%, masked the bird and removed the texture from it again. Then I darkened the image a bit and did several saturation and hue adjustments until I ended up with this image.

Not my normal way to work with photos... but it was fun!

    Wow! It looks surreal. Once in a while it is great to mess around with a photo just to see what happens, and learn something new along the way.
