Myer:

Congrats on your win! Good preening pose with head parallel to sensor.

The whites are a little darker on my monitor than I would prefer, and I think he would have a little more pop if the image was a bit brighter.

Cheers

Thanks for the comments. The orginal TIFF is a lot brighter that what is shown on BPN

Nice preening pose. Love the yellow feet. Congratulation on your winning.

Congrats on the award Myer. I love the pose and the show of the yellow feet. The BG could benefit from some NR and the feathers lack detail - perhaps this was a scan from film?

I think the problem was resizing. the site need to take 1020 on the long end not just the width. LR was tied up with a download and I had to use another program to resize
