Last night I came across a
photo of a roseate spoonbill (Ajaia ajaja) that I took while visiting
Busch Gardens, Florida a few years ago. I noticed that the photo of
the mature bird was decent, but I didn't like the netting, quite visible
in the background. I decided to make a photo object of the bird and
remove all the background.

Once the background was
removed, I pasted the bird and tree branch on a photo of sky and clouds.
The second photo shows the result. I certainly liked it a lot more
than the original image.
I wondered if it would look
better with the clouds to the left, rather than the right, of the new
image, so I cut the bird from the image, flipped the sky photo, then
pasted the bird again. The third photo shows the result and I think
I liked it better this way.
Because the bird lives in
warmer climates, I pasted it on a photo of a palm tree with clear sky.
The fourth photo is the result.
Finally, I reduced the size of
the bird and pasted on a different photo of palm tress blowing in the
wind. In this image the spoonbill has much less impact, and is no
longer dominant in the scene.
