    Hey Desmond, Cool pose and you did a good job of evening out the EXP. However, you could have done better.
    For the repost I did a Linear Burn on the whites of the far underwing as though they did not show as over-exposed on the histogram were pretty much detail-less. For the hot spots on the rear flank I used a QM and the Clone Stamp. Then I lightened the face a bit with another QM and Control M (Levels on the layer mask). Also eliminated the hot spot on the fishie.

    Like the pose, and like what Artie did with the repost. Was this a significant crop?

    Cool pose, great BG and eye contact. Adding to Artie's suggestions, I might give it a bit more room at the top and maybe some NR on the BG.

    Super posture with the forward extended wings. Good detail, and his catch a bonus.

    Thanks Artie for the suggestions and instructions. Never thought about doing what you did to improve the image myself.

    Thanks for the comments folks!
