    I thought this crop held up pretty good to 12x18. I wanted to twist the barrel up to 1020mm but before I could, this was the last I saw of him, the instant he saw me. :(

    I like the curious look, angle and soft light. I would put the bird a bit further to the left in the frame, sharpen it more and tone down the highlights.

    P.S.: All caps is considered screaming, I fixed the title so that no one needs earplugs. ;)

    Thanks Axel. Your the second person to suggest to the left. How would you deal with the highlights - brightness, levels or how?

    I would adjust the RAW file. You can use levels and/or the recovery slider, that should do the trick.

    The crop in the repost looks better. I would try to tone down the highlights on the chest some more.
