Noisy Friarbird

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! :)

It's certainly not a 5 minute job.

What a cool little bird! Nice capture, M.A. and cool borders too!

Thanks JAS :)
