I added canvas to the front and below and removed a white post in the distance.

The colours also seem a bit too warm on the bird and not so true to life - which is quite a pale, flat grey. Should I be aiming for true to life colours here or doesn't it really matter - unless you were there you wouldn't know it wasn't a warm glow from the early morning sun I guess.

Hopefully I managed to do a better job on sharpening - seems I need to mask the edges of the bird to avoid the white artefacts appearing. It that typically required or is that a sign of too much sharpening. My guess is this one might still have a little too much sharpening.

Feedback much appreciated.
