Hi Joe, I'm always envious of your blue sky ,love that stare looks like he is focused on something, maybe you? Don't think I would change anything it all look very good to me.
Interesting to read your comment on my post can't imagine Pheasants" Key West old city " must go and have a look, thanks for that.
Regards Keith.
Hi Joe,
I am afraid I am not loving this one.
The image seems quite contrasty and I see a green-blue cast on the whites.
I do like the curled wing tips and that direct gaze. The light was not your friend here!

Thanks everyone for viewing, commenting and suggesting improvements. Looking at the image today I agree with Gail's and Akos's assessment. I must have been in a dark and contrasty mood when I worked up the image. I was able to go back to the original today and work it up again because Lightroom is non-destructive to the pixels. I think this is better.
