Another warbler, singing his love song. Materials are in the EXIF file. Techniques I used:
1. I applied a mask to the focal photo, to darken & blur the background a bit.
2. DH focuses in pretty close, so often there's little room to crop without dismemberment, but I tried to put the birds' eye &/or bill at one of the sweet spots.
3. The green background papers are Amanda Soc's Reawakening - climbing floral at 85% lighten mode over tile green. The P & W in the title are Angela Blanchard's
Prairieland alpha, with the pinkish-background color removed, with linear blend mode over a snippet of Julie White's musical yellow paper (and Mandy Steward's
epoxy style applied.)
4. The two alphas are ABL Prairieland and Amanda McGee's Jake & Emma.
5. Blending modes were applied to the brush frames on the small photos; the torn edge on the paper; the journaling highlighter; the "tsweet" alpha, with decreasing
opacity;
Thanks for the challenge. It took much more time and thought than I expected - partly to keep track of what I did. But it was great fun!
