    Hi Jim. Sharpness is fine. Due to the light angle, some of the black plumage has little or no detail; some Shadows/Highlights work may help. Perhaps a slightly tighter crop. And I would desaturate the water just a bit.

    Great find and details. I agree regarding desaturating the blues, might crop a bit tighter and try to bring out more details in the blacks.

    Doug and Axel,

    Thanks for the comments!

    For version 2, different crop, lessoned blue saturation and pulled up shadows.

    Kind regards,

    Jim Kerr
