This is a captive Scarlet Macaw taken at Gatorland in Kissimmee, FL. It was one of two Scarlet Macaws rescued from abusive owners in central Florida. It's wings had been clipped and it had been severely mistreated. It was brought to Gatorland and they had nursed them back to what appeard to be good health. After seeing these in the wild in Costa Rica it really pains me to see them in captivity, or any parrots/macaws for that matter.
The background in this shot was an ugly building with some white branches behind the bird that just looked awful, so I did some photoshop magic, and took the primary color of the building, cloned it into the entire background using the magic wand multiple times, and then applied a very slight texture to make it somewhat more interesting. I think it makes the bird's colors pop nicely. I hope you like the effect. Canon Eos10d + 400mm f/5.6, 1/160th sec at f/6.3, ISO100, Handheld. Enjoy, Chris Fagyal
