MOC10_D4_Hello Little Blue Heron

I used Christa's tutorial for PSE.
I actually created my own paper first using a green and a beige paper to match the photo, then I blended the photo into that paper. And then I added the bird paper, changed the opacity, and blended that in.
Just writing that makes me do a happy dance. This time last year during my first MOC I had no idea how to do any of this and really struggled with the tutorials around blending. What a difference a year makes!

My journaling reads -
The elusive Little Blue Heron. I finally got a photo of him on my walk! I feel like he has been dodging my attention for weeks. And I swear he is glaring at me in this photo!
To be clear, I never disturb the wildlife, this photo was taken 10 feet away with a zoom lens.
