Good Hair Day
« on: March 03, 2024, 23:09:12 »


Unfortunately the population of Great Curassows (a large bird found in Central America) is declining — partly because they are very good to eat.

I am afraid that she scurried off before she could give me the name of her hairdresser.

The title spooked me out a little, as last night I had two different (vivid) dreams about my hair turning orange, along with two very different extrovert hair styles. Madness!

I woke (for the second time) in a cold sweat, and actually had to check in a mirror when I went for a pee. Then I was fine until I saw your thread title …. It all came back to me …  :-\ :-\ :-\

Did you take the pic? How did you get the background so black?

I am happy to hear that you awoke to find that your hair had not turned orange!

Yes I took the photograph in northern Costa Rica (close to the Nicaragua border).
I used my Nikon 300mm PF with a 1.4X extender on it for a total 500mm focal length.
I also used fill-in flash.

The original had a rather messy background but Adobe Camera Raw now lets us make Masks and then we can then treat different parts of the image separately.
I made separate Masks for the bird and for the background in ACR; and then darkened the background significantly.

That's a very elaborated dandy version of a mohawk ...
