Sweet light on this, Michael. I would be tempted to crop from above to eliminate the bright area of sky and balance it by cropping a bit off the post from below. Barbed wire not ideal but not under your control. I would also mask sharpening off the post and wires. May also be an option to do a localised colour correction to reduce the blue on the shaded areas.
Hi Michael Would move bird to the left some more and don't mind the barbed wire Given the choice to minimize of present as you did would go with your presentation ... sort of goes with the bird.
Do agree with Tony on cropping the light area on the top !!! I like the image !!!
Interesting looking bird Michael. I might try a bit different crop. Off the top as suggested and then enough off bottom to remove bottom wire and a bit from right to rebalance. Definately looking back at you.
