Wonderful pose and COMP. Head is turned slightly away. Image looks noisy or over-sharpened... That said, the darks could be brighter and the image could use a bit of a contrast boost.
Can you simply convert the image and post an 800 pixel jpeg of without any changes?
Also, what camera?

Taken as a jpeg with a minolta 5d. sigma 170-500 lens. camera is image stabilized. not sure if on a tripod or not. here is the image with NOTHING done to it other than making it smaller.
actually the lens might have been a tamron 28-300.
Thanks Joan. I worked on this a bit and am not even sure that it looks better than the ORIG post. Hard to tell without a direct side by side comparison. IAC, I am not sure if the problem is with camera image quality (doubtful) or bad bokeh from the lens. Boken refers to the apparent smoothness and quality of the BKGR with a given lens at various apertures....
ps: On 2nd thought I think that the BKGR looks better in the repost, possibly because I selected the bird and sharpened the bird only without sharpening the BKGR.
What say ye all?

hi artie. i might would sharpen the bg a little. maybe something in between. my question is your choice of crop. is the ROT used here and what is it that falls in the ROT? something just doesnt look right to me.. thanks
what is ROT
rule of thirds. usually like to have the eye or close to one of the intersecting lines of the ROT. sometimes these rules can be broken. i just dont know when!!!
Might this work as more of a pano with the bird further to the right??
