This was an experiment.
I cut out the line of galahs and used a lichen covered rock in black and white with blur as a background. I think it worked OK?
@jamibann@harbie@onewing@ludwigsdiana@momamo thank you all for the supportive comments! @pistache@koalagardens Hi Koala and Clare, I used the quick selection tool and saved it to a mask where I tidied it up a bit before bringing in the background. Fortunately the birds were photographed against a plain blue sky which made life a bit easier. @casablanca@sangwann@kvphoto thanks Dione, Elizabeth & KV, I did change the background to black and white before importing and added significant gaussian blur. The birds and branch are full colour but of course the birds are grey and pink so just the pink to pop! thanks for the comments! @robz Don't know why I didn't think to flip them around it would have been so easy and we do tend to read left to right! good idea. @kwind@taffy thanks so much KWInd and Taffy, very encouraging comments.
