Great isolation! Where did you take it and how did you do it? #1359069

Thanks William! It was taken at a nesting area behind a strip mall in New Port Richey, Fl. The background was already dark, so all I had to do was a levels adjustment in Photoshop, then burn in any other light spots. I liked the contrast between the black background and white feathers. #9279779
