Wow !
I must say that your use of the textures for these photos is brillant!
Would you mind sharing how you achieve such a nice effect? (Feel free to go into details or not ;) )

Hi Thomas, I am still pretty new at this and I am using textures in photoshop. I try to use textures to enhance the colors found in the image and use layer masks to either add or remove color as needed. I adjust the opacity of the texture determine the overall effect of the texture on the image. I will use either all or part of the texture depending on how it overlays the original image during the transform step. I have used up to four textures per image and then play with them until I like what I see. It is all very subjective and requires a fair amount of playing around to see what you like.

Re: Great Blue Heron Courtship
Very nicely done Pat. because of the textures used in the background I would print these on canvas, linen, or muslin.

Re: Great Blue Heron Courtship
Pat, I'd be curious to see one before you photoshopped it.

I thought that I would prefer the before to the after and I was right.
