    Absolutely beautiful, I like it as it is but I have also adjusted the image moving the Gamma slider to 1.04, my very slight reservation is the background - just a little heavy????

    Lovely, Frank. Brilliant IQ and detail. Love the subtle light on the chest feathers too.

    Certainly does look good indeed! Was this taken from inside a car? (I ask because you mention "beanbag") Ideally the perch would be more parallel to the sensor to prevent so much oof bits in the front. Still a stunner, and yes it would look lovely printed :-)
