Evening Stroll Textured - Welgevonden Game Reserve, South Africa

I think many of us photographers during the pandemic are looking through our archives for hidden gems or trying some editing techniques to play with to give a different look for our photos. In a recent Zoom photo club meeting, one of the members mentioned using textures in photos. I have played with textures in the past but haven’t done one in a long time. Textures are great for photos that have a great subject but the background is not ideal. I started to look for some photos that textures would make the photo better. I came across this photo of a lioness that was walking down the road toward our vehicle. The problem was the road was a deep shade of orange that I just didn’t like. Finding a texture that fits the color scheme is harder than it sounds but I finally found this one that I really like. I plan to do some more texturing in the near future.
