Recover white, curve to darken image, crop, set white/black point, linear burn, darken wing, NR and sharpen.

Heavy crop but I like the curvy shape of the bird in this one.

All comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thanaboon, this looks good to me. Wing position is interesting, head is sharp. I can see you know where your focus point is! ;)

Looks pretty sharp to me Thanaboon. Am I seeing a yellow colour cast or is the bird that creamy white colour.

[Lance Peters]

Looks sharp to me also - lots to like here.
Good eye Jackie - does look like a slight yellow cast on my screen also.
Techs are solid - doing well!!

Now I see the cast also, probably coming from linear burning, thank you for pointing it out.

Great eye Jackie !!!

Excellent wing position, sharp and goo exposure ... might consider using a 1.4X to reduce cropping !!!

held up pretty well to the large crop. there seems to be an area right behind the blacks on the head lacking detail? love the wing position and the bg. nice job from the car!!:)

Sorry, very misinformation, it was handheld, but not inside a car.

I usually brush away the edge after sharpening to get rid of the halo, the soft area on the head can comes from that.
