Well, of course, I had to do a bit of playing around with this magnificent dude. I am so grateful for where I live and all the wonders of nature it offers us right out the back door!
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
@gamelee I took my photo of the elk in our yard with trees behind, tweaked it in LR, and then took it to Topaz texture effects. There I used a couple of textures ( one of them from Jai's wildlife collection), masked parts out to bring the elk forward, and used different blending modes and opacities for the layers until I liked what I had. Hope that makes sense
