Bird and perch killer. Shame on your for almost clipping the bottom leaves... Added canvas bottom, crown and bill clean-up, a bit of eye doctor, and lighten the whole thing. Also a 10% blue Photo Filter to soften the yellow a bit.
Image quality superb for a 100kb file.

Subject, pose, perch and bkg are all great. Arties re post kicks it up a notch. Well done. TFS

Hi Gary, YAW. Not really.... Better framing in the field (leaving a bit more room as a border around the lower leaves) would have allowed me to improve this one in less than a minute. Also, exposing to the right would have helped. Last tip: make sure that you can differentiate between the last two black and the last two white boxes on the calibration strip on the bottom of each BPN page when you set your mid-tone slider :)
I keep a BPN window open at all times when working on my images so that I can adjust the tilt of the screen to do just that. Both Robert O'Toole and I are in the minority as we optimize 100% of our images on quality laptops.

Gary, Beautiful pose, details and perch. Artie's repost really adds to this well done image.
The bird's correct name is American Goldfinch :)
