Roseate Spoonbill - Ajaia ajaja

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.
