    Great wing position, details and eye contact. The feathers look a bit worn and I might remove the BG noise and give it more room.

    Very nice bird and image. IMO I would lighten the sky a little and run NR, the bird looks over sharpened. Very good image anyways!

    Sharp with a great wing position. After you add canvas try going to the blue channel in Hue-Sat, reducing the blue SAT, and then making the blues lighter with Lightness slider. The bird should get to the mall...

    I look forward to meeting you and the rest of the Bosque Volunteer Group in SEPT.
