I'm trying to develop a skill here, more than just trying to slap image "A" onto background "B", so I'm kinda looking more for which procedures I should practice, than trying to solve an immediate goal.
I've run a few searches, tried to follow their tutorials (Filters>Decor>Stencil carve, for one example) and ended up less than happy with the results I've obtained
What I hope to do, is something like this:

Particularly where the white arrow points to the bird.
For instance, using this image:

On this background:

Everything I've tried thus far, I lose the details of the wing feathers into a mottled glob. It's important to me that the finished result appear engraved and not just "painted on"
And again, I'm looking mostly for the procedures I need to practice, than just trying to get this one project completed.
Thanks for constructive guidance.
