    It's a lovely shot from a composition and posture point of view but I would suggest the processing is a little off the mark. The greens are a little too saturated and the shadows are blocked. Not too sure about sharpening
    Genuinely I don't wish to cause irritation but if you shot in raw and tried Lightroom your images really would look amazing, you may even get a free trial (you could with Photoshop).

    Yes Jon the image is certainly lacking in quality but was really meant as a fun shot from a while back. I,ve actually got photoshop but can't get on with it. Funnyhow some folks say "wonderful colours"
    - others say "saturated" Probably my monitor.

    I like the apprehensive pose, blurred tail feather tips and setting. Nice image John.
