I carefully erased the background from the bird/twig layer. While working
near the bird & twig I used a tiny brush & 25% opacity at 100%
magnification. I didn't want to create a hard edge, particularly where
the
edge of the bird was slightly outside the plane of focus so I erased a
little at a time, building up the erasures gradually. Took hours. I'm
going to do the same thing with this photo:
http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/turdidae/wrsh00.html
which was made in similar light. This photo as posted is biased toward
good color balance on the bird. I want the palm frond in the background
to
be more green (as I remember it) instead of this yellow/green.
