This is not so OOTB in terms of processing or any special effect. In fact, less post-processing was used than in my normal workflow.
It's simply a photo of a bird which ignores most of the usual objectives for avian images:
The bird's head (beak and eyes) are not really a part of the image.
Light sources are mostly not behind the photographer
The perch and bg are both fairly obviously man-made.
Composition is pretty much centered tho still somewhat asymmetric.
And there is some unrepaired CA which somehow works for me as is.
I think that's a beautiful shot of a bird I don't get to see very often. Those back feathers are so vibrant and sharp! I like your avatar too!

Kenn and Temple, Big Welcome to OOTB! Very nice first post! I love the back-view. Beautiful details and colors and I think the framing works well for this shot.

I like the composition. I think the colors and details of those back feathers makes this composition work well.
