Noisy Friarbird

[Mad Aussie]

This is another bird I've captured in our Grevillea lately. Ugly with that lump on his nose huh?
They are often in there with the Rainbow Lorikeets. I expect to see some Blue Faced Honeyeaters soon too.

Beautiful shot! Can't say the same for the bird though...

Great shot. Who says that 'ugly' can't be beautiful at the same time?

Cheers Odyssey and Matt.

There's a couple of them out in that Grevillea right now with the Rainbow Lorikeets as I type.

What a weird and wonderful bird. Australia seems to be full of them! I really have to ask, though. How the heck are you doing those borders with the image overlapping the border. Your not tracing out that fine detail to create a mask of some sort are you? Is there an easier way?

Thanks IG.

I'm using the magic wand tool and the lasso tool. Topaz has a thing called Remask which can work but in the end I find manually doing it the most accurate usually.

Well, they rock! I really like the way the border and image overlap. Maybe I'll try it on a simple image if I find one. It looks like too much effort to me!
