Great edit! I am intrigued by how you achieved the painterly background effect?

Wow what a beauty and love the background!

@ankers70 The original background was a completely blah overcast sky. I used a texture from Jai Johnson’s Daily Textures as well as a couple of the textures available in PS and selected the bird and branch and placed them in the textures and then diddled a bunch with blurring Jai’s texture layer and tweaking the color and lighting. Hope that helps
