A wonderful painterly effect Doug - you've found out a new way to get  
rid of the background and to set the bird out so beautifully.
Now, it also seems you were lucky there was no or so little wind ;-)

Great, great, great catch my friend.

Thanks for sharing not only the result but also the technique.

Yes I was lucky about the wind :) A day with thick fog helped keep the 
shutter speed slow; the technique has been a work-in-progress and the final 
touch was the rubber boots :)

Thank you Jim, Lluis and Philippe for your comments.
