This started as a boring image of a cute little bird on a fence but I decided to try a composite with texture to see what I could do with it. I started in On1 and layered the bird image on top of the background and masked the background through at 100% opacity, then I painted in and out at about 20% the edges until I was happy with it. Moved into effects and applied a texture, back into layers where I applied my background on top this time, using the lighten blending mode. Now into LR where I did some basic adjustment, radial filter and vignette. Not perfect but for my first composite type image I am happy with the outcome. Now for more YouTube videos to learn some more techniques.
