    Dear Anil, Thanks for the comments. The only PP done was converting to TIFF from RAW in DPP, then to JPEG in PS. Mild sharpening after resizing, some lifting of the shadow area near eye. Cloned out some cob webs. I could have removed the twig but just left it as natural.

    I love the harmonious palette provided by the background. The perch is a bit bright for my taste. I would try selecting the perch and reducing the highlights and perhaps even reducing the brightness of the perch to see if it can be made less distracting. The bird looks perfect - well done.

    Stunning sharpness, detail and colors! Nik's Viveza could do an awesome job of darkening the perch. After darkening it, you will have some darkening of the surrounding areas. When you set points outside the perch with neutral settings, it will remove any darkening from those areas and you will be left with an amazing selection.
