Death of a Strawberry

I took this picture about a month ago when I was playing around with the effects of flash. Jodi doesn't do much when she sees a camera. So I gave her a strawberry to keep her occupied. My experiment didn't last very long. She started eating the berry (Oh the carnage!) the flash started going off in her face and she threw the strawberry to the floor. This was the best of the few shots I got. I was close enough to her that the background came out almost black. That's the effect I was going for. So I touched up the background in PSE to make it more consistent. by Jacci.

Hopefully, tomorrow, we will be back to posting current pictures. I'm seeing the neurosurgeon today.

[ Additional note by david: There was no photoshopping to make selective color - Jodi is an African Gray (all gray but her tail, which is red)... ]
