    From the Alli farm. I removed one piece of a branch and one spot of dirt on his white feathers.

    Thanks for looking and for your comments.

    Very nice. The subject really pops from the bg without being over down. Did you darken the green and yellow with selective colors in PS?

    Thanks Allan, No I did not darken greens and yellows, just ran a bit of noise reduction on the bg. The bird and the bg were in two different lights.

    Grace, love the shot.
    Filled flash would have taken this up another notch!

    Tack sharp Grace, and love the HA. You have exposed this very well, and you have also brought out the colours very well. Nicely separated from the BG too.
