This wistful Yellowish Flycatcher had a plain bright green background of out of focus jungle. I wanted to show the location, so I added an image of the jungle taken a few days before to the background and used my blur and outline technique in Photoshop.

Composite created in Photoshop with 20140519_Boquete_14.jpg for background. NIKON D600, f-stop 5.6, exposure time 1/1600 sec., ISO 4000, focal length 400mm, and max aperture 5.

Adding a blurs, selective highlights and edges to the leaves creates how I imagined the scene. Boquete is a magical place.

    Wonderful spot. I have been here 2 years and we see a lot of birds. Very hard for me to get good shots of them. Nice work!
