I thought this little one would look good in high-key.

Hi Lady Denise,
I like this high-key image...details are sharp and the reflection is tack on...good show...:cool:

Denise, this ROCKS! I'd also try a nice tight vertical just to compare it - but this is super in a high-key look. You nailed this one! Only suggestion would be to try and push the sharpening around the eye/beak just a bit more.

Denise, nice high key. I am wondering if you could add a bit more black to the neutrals or blacks in selective colour to make it pop a bit more???

Jackie, Not sure what you had in mind-show me if you get a chance-thanks!:)

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Easy Denise, go to selective colour. from the drop down (adjustments) go to selective colour: select either neutrals or blacks. Add +2 or+3 points of black to each one, or one, or both. See which one, if any look better. Usually gives more contrast. Don't tell me you haven't tried this one:)

Jackie, I know how to do that -what I meant was I wasn't sure what look you were going for:)
