Center of Attention
Photography: Alan Rowe
Sometimes an image captures the right expression and personality, but then it has some confusing elements in the background. Isolating elements, removing distracting elements from the background, extending out-of-focus foliage, simplifying colors, matching blur and grain, filling in feathers in a nearly bare spot on the chest, sharpening selected areas, and tweaking color to create a compelling final image that allowed this parrot to really stand out as the center of attention.
