Excellent pose with the open bill and eye contact, Gary. BG and perch look good. Bird looks a little bright - wondering if a selection of the bright tones and a linear burn may increase the details on the brighter areas of plumage.

Thanks for the feedback Tony. Sorry for the ignorance - what is a linear burn? Is that just the burn tool?

Hi Gary - this link will explain it http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ad.php?t=18298
