Thanks Satish much appreciated,thanks for your input Will I think it just lifts the bird a tad but i'm afraid I'm not so keen on the change of bg colour,appreciate your time on this mate.
if you could smooth the bg that would make a lot of difference IMHO ................ that's the ONLY adjustment that I have made - couple of minutes in PS
your colours are good, nice HA, detail and sharpness is there, DOF fine, good composition and the foreground is interesting, (a few bits and pieces could be cloned in if you are picky,,,,, that white strand in the middle of the fg), and you could apply a little NR to the bg, (but that level of noise can add as generally when you use a clone tool it reduces noise depending on the setting)
Nice looking bird and you have some great detail and colors in this one.
I really like the background and Bill's repost cleaned it up well. Good work
