    Nice detail in the subject. Wish it were separated from the BG a bit more.

    Looks sharp enough. A tighter crop with a bit of CW rotation might do it some good. :)

    I agree with Artie about rotating and cropping. I also selectively brightened the bird and
    lightened the background a bit for better contrast.

    Well done David. (And thanks!) For such a young child you go great Photoshop work:) All it needs now is a bit of selective sharpening on the head.

    That's "yutes" as in "two yutes." Too, too funny and a big coincidence. I sent this link to Denise last night: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104952/quotes. It is a load of quotes from "My Cousin Vinny." Thanks for the u-tube clip. Joe Pesci is too, too funny and Marisa Tomei was perfect in her role. She was not the first choice however....
