When an image is destined to be a painting -- or a painterly photograph -- cutting and pasting various components together isn't nearly as critical because where the subject meets the background the edges are abstracted. In a photographic composite, how the subject blends with the background is of utmost importance. The image will be believable or not depending on the edges. But in a painterly image, like this macaw flying above autumn colors in Vermont (which probably has never happened before), the edges are abstracted. Therefore, you don't have to use the precise pen tool in making meticulous selections. I applied Topaz Impression software to make this abstracted image.
