I love hummingbirds! This is so beautiful! I love the soft colors and your editing style. I only use basic editing on my photos, but I want to learn more about using textures and filters. I'm not familiar with "atmosphere". Is that a special filter in Photoshop?
Thank you for sharing!
Patty


Thank You so much !!! and you're very welcome, glad to share. No atmosphere filter in Photoshop, it was done with several overlay layers. First was a layer of a similar color with some fog brushed in and blended at a low opacity using the soft light blend mode, next left top corner toward the hummingbird was a textured light ray overlay blended using the screen blend mode, then using a mask, brushed out where I didn't want it, then above that was a golden sunlight ray blurred and blended with screen, and above that was a dust overlay blended with screen and again masked out where i didn't want the dust to appear. The background texture itself was done with 2 different texture layers. Delighted you enjoyed it !!!
