Hi Jeni,
I tried opening this and it opened in Camera Raw. How are you saving your files?
The only thing I would do is try burning some of the whites down in the head area.

Thanks Jackie for comment. That's weird because I checked and it's saved in jpg. (burned the whites the same time of checking!)

Hi Jeni:
Love your photo, beautiful bird. On my computer whites look OK. I use a Toshiba laptop, and monitor calibration strip at bottom of the page shows up perfectly. Also, saved your image and it saved as a JPG.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Jeni,
I like the composition and capture. you have rich vibrant colors. The blacks are clipped and the whites are just boarder line 255. in the cheek area, agree with Jackie on burning them just a tad...good show...:):cool:

nice composition and a beautiful bird. looks like the light was a tad on the harsh side. some softer light would have helped get more detail in the whites and blacks. you did absolutely excellent in those conditions!!!

Hi Jeni:
