Cactus Wren for Textures

My computer is in the shop for who knows how long. Thankfully I sent this for upload before I took it to the shop. I'm still learning to get the light right on the bird but am pretty pleased with this.
Thanks for taking my black and white landscape to the PP! Whoopee! and for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
Wow... this is amazing. FAV.

This is amazing! So, is the bird on a cactus or is that also what you added. I feel like I'm in a rut and not moving forward with the program to improve. But I keep practicing. Do you do your layering in the Textures or do you move it to PS eventually?

It really is all about the light isn't it? I love this capture.

@taffy the bird is on the cactus with blue sky. First I brought in the second cactus in ps and tranformed and blurred it, then added texture in texture effects and masked out the bird and most of cactus

@jgpittenger It was worth all the work to create this -- I can see where not using PS is limiting how I can create the image with the textures. Did I share the one of the cat and the goose? I think with PS I could make the goose smaller which would improve the image. Next steps!

@taffy I haven't seen it. I love how each of us learns a slightly different piece and we share
