A pleasing image I see you have done your colour corrections and removals and left a faint luminance sheen of blue in the wings i.e. not eliminating it entirely. Looks good, though I am slightly surprised black/deep the blacks are, I appreciate the feathers in the neck are ruffled. Composition looks good = I like it.
Not quite Jon, blue was removed prior, I just use another layer sampling picker and Blend mode for whites. Black as you know are not blocked/chocked, but its the way the light catches then as it moves it's head, these are big birds almost 5ft in old money. :S3:
