Photo for the Week- 36 – Overlay

First of all many thanks to all those that participated in last month’s challenge.  This week’s challenge is Overlay.  One way of using overlays on an image is to add texture.

For the following image, I used Topaz Texture Effects 2 but you can achieve the same in either Photoshop, Luminar 3, On1 Raw 2019.5, or the Free version of Topaz Studio.  Textures can add a whole new dimension to an image.  Take for instance this lone daffodil which was photographed at Scotney Castle.

Overlays, can be used for composite work as well and still life image with a texture overlay take on a whole new meaning.

I’m looking forward to seeing your interpretations of Overlays..  Happy Snapping and have a great month everyone xx
