2015 December 1: We have experienced steady rain amid dark, dreary skies for several days now, so it was a treat to see this beautifully vibrant Northern Cardinal munching from the suet hanging from our deck. He certainly brightened up my day!
Rather than just posting the usual straight-out-of-camera photo today, I decided to add a textured background. The cardinal, leaves, and suet are untouched from the original photo; the background is a blend of textures.
I love the textures you added! Very creative! This image looks like a painting to me. I love the Cardinal's red and, also, the blue flowerpot. Cardinals do always brighten the day.
Thanks, Janet B! I did mean to mention: For anyone interested in working with textures, the ones that I used are freebies from Shadow House Creations by Jerry Jones ... http://shadowhousecreations.blogspot.com/. He has some very nice work on his site!
