Nice image design and bird. But too red and way to dark.... For the repost I corrected the color balance, pulled the Curve up, and applied some NIK Detail Extractor on the shadows via a Hide-all Mask and then pulled that Curve up as well. I painted the brighter whites in the background back in.
All as detailed in my Digital Basics File . DB is an instructional PDF that is sent via e-mail. It includes my complete digital workflow, dozens of great Photoshop tips, several different ways to expand canvas, all of my time-saving Keyboard Shortcuts, Quick Masking, Layer Masking, and NIK Color Efex Pro basics, my killer image clean-up techniques, Digital Eye Doctor, and tons more.

Artie's repost brings out the best in your image. Good looking bird with excellent sharpness. I like the complimentary colors of the BG too. Not crazy about the perch though.
Thanks Arthur Morris! In sincerity, however, I prefer my original image.
The red is due to the fact that the subject was photographed at sunset.
Too light your version.
I enjoy the sunset (Buteo Buteo)
Arthur Morris thanked for this post
