Scissortails

 I had some fun out at Hagerman Wildlife Refuge today, hot and humid was not fun but finding the Scissortail sitting right at the edge of the road allowing me the shot of the day was worth the trip and sweat.

This image was processed before I added  my texture background, and then I added a few dandylion accents with a cool brush.  I have been working on some sets of cards for my Etsy shop Timeless Dog Studio and I really thought this would be a winner.  The image was hand torn on the edges for a deckle finish and processed with a fixative to give it an canvas appearance and texture.
