Birthday Birding
You can't see them here, but in the background of the focal photo are DOZENS of Great White Egrets as well as a bunch of Zen-like Great Blue Herons. It was the most magical place to have a pre-birthday lunch with my daughter. It was fun to catch up, and I think I made a birder out of her. In addition to the egrets and herons, she added a bald eagle and two least bitterns to her new birding life list. Somebody's getting binoculars for Christmas.

Process in Photoshop Elements 14: After placing the focal photo in the Scenic Template clipping mask, I moved the two existing template frames to the right, clipped photos to the masks, then added the Framed Mask to accommodate an extra photo. I added several background papers from the Artplay Palette, then a few LoveGlos on overlay blend mode and soft light blend mode around the focal photo for light. The LoveGlos are really cool because them come with hearts. I completed my design with texture, color, and overall visual interest with Artsy Transfer No. 5, the layers of which I tucked behind and around the figure of my daughter in the focal photo, as well as Artsy Transfer No 4, located behind the heron.

What great photos, looks like a wonderful mother-daughter day! You must be so happy to not have Eva across the country anymore! Love the way the dragonfly creates a central focus!
 
Great mom and daughter photos! Wonderful way to spend time with your daughter. Didn't realize that there were egrets this far north. Gorgeous documentation.
 
How fun! What a wonderful place you picked with all those visitors. We're headed to our bird resort tomorrow but still don't have a clue about a life list. It's whatever wants to be in our photos I guess.
 
Good times. Happy Birthday to Eva. Love that you are looking through your binoculars :)
 
belle utilisation du template scenique pour illustrer ce moment magique avec votre fille dans ce bel environnement Laura !!!
