I always enjoy your artistry, Brent, probably because for some reason I've always loved surfing imagery. This despite living in the Central Valley and only getting to the coast once or twice a year.
I was just thinking about the use of textures the other day. Graphic artists use them all the time to add to their imagery. What I was wondering is how does one decide what kind of texture to apply. If I had to pick I'd pick 4 and 5. It's the textures.
Here’s my secret: SPE = smart photo editor. It’s a program you can buy that is very reasonable and shows you all the different options of textures you can apply. After you choose a texture you can manipulate the strength of the texture and colors. I highly recommend this program .It still gives the artist/photographer thousands of options to unleash their creative side depending upon what kind of look you’re after.
