    Default Messing with wildlife

    I picked up a magazine with an artical on texture blending , so decided to give it another try ... After showing my efforts to my husband . He ask me why on earth I would want to mess up one of my perfectly good wildlife photos ... hence the Title ... I guess he's too much of a purist . He's turning into an old fuddy duddy

    I used a free texture from playingwithbrushes . By taking a look at what people have created with that gals textures , it gave me a better understanding of what type of photos and textures mix together well .

    I used an old leather book texture , that was in colour tones very much like my Fox photo and heres what I came up with ........

    Thanks aubintbay

    I'm not sure that I like that frilly metal clasp thingy on it or the edges of the book showing ... I think I will be redoing this without the metal thing and I'll make the texture layer the same shape as my photo .... I had to crop a bit off the right side of my photo to fit it on the leather book ... and I'm kinda missing that little bit of space .... I'm just learning how to do these , so it's all trail and error , but Im enjoying it .

    I think I tend to agree with you on the metal clasp. Other than that I really like the texture processing you did.

    Ohhhh - these purists. They never understand, that we just have to test all the options and all the trail and error is the fun for it ;-). I like your picture - the leather texture fits well.
