Roller Redux
Many of my wildlife shots, particularly birds, although generally acceptable, are spoiled by an unattractive background. This often happens when they are shot against a blank or featureless sky. I have found that the Luminar 4 editing program is not just a boon for landscape photographers, but is also a fun way to give the birds a second chance. Sky replacement in these shots is not an attempt to deceive - just a bit of fun to let the subjects have their moment in the sun (or cloud, or storm, or sunset!).
The Lilac-breasted Roller and its perch are absolutely real.
