Egyptian Blue
Uploaded: November 14, 2018 | Entered: November 14, 2018 18:00:18
This bluejay, shot in the same light as the iron feeder, was added to the scene using a special masking and blending technique taught by Jai Johnson. I grounded the bird by using a burn brush to create shadows beneath the feet and talons. Background textures were chosen to mirror the light/shadow of the original images and add visual interest. Topaz Impression provides the finished work with a painterly look.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
You learn by doing. Take your next online photography class.
