I took this one last year. The background was pretty nice, with the exception of a branch that bothred a bit behind the bird. I got rid of it, but I don't know if it's because I know the original, I tend to see where the edit was made...
Nikon D200, AI Nikkor 400mm f/3.5 ED-IF, fill flash. I can't recall exactly, but I think on this one I was using extension tubes, since these guys are not very shy, and we could work very close.
Nice bird and BG Patricio. The bird is a little centered in the frame; would like to see more room on the right. A bit more sharpness would be nice, as well as brightening your subject a bit. I took the liberty of doing a quick edit. Let me know how you like it.
I like the repost results. There is a softness to the edge of the bird along the nape and upper back - is this where the cloned branch was? Not the prettiest of perches!!
