- If you have shot the subject portrait to then go for a 5x4 format and not landscape format
- If you double processed, reduced the blue in version one, then duplicated the original one with the blue sky and added this as a layer. It may then remove the blue fringing and the blue doesn't tarnish the main colours of the subject, especially the darks.
- Get a bit more separation between bill and plumage
Joe, I have no idea on colours and could be totally wrong. DoF is what it is and nothing you can do, but minor manipulations to bolster the file/image may help, or indeed you feel that as presented is fine, just making some suggestions.
