What a neat and lovely hair do he has !!
Excellent image ,Jonathan.
I like the pose, probably just landed?. Superb details in blacks and whites, beautiful colors, water ripples and water droplets above the tail and his tiny eye.

Very nice Jonathan, I know how difficult it is to get the black feather detail on the head, and you got it here. Well done

Thanks very much for the feedback. I had to do quite a bit of adjusting the darks and whites, I had overexposed slightly(deliberately) to get detail in the darks plumage because the light angle wasn't ideal. I made repeated TIFF versions using ACR and DPP4, in the end I settled for DPP4, using several pin points in the curves palette. In Photoshop I did a little more dodging and burning using the Tim Grey method prior to resizing and sharpening. I sparingly used the sponge brush on the greens and pinks to enhance the colours slightly.
