    Some may look for more contrast/punch , but for me the soft light feel is perfect for this image. A beautiful subject composed and photographed very,very well. Might want to sharpen the head and eye just a little.

    Hi Loukie, a lovely image of a beautiful bird. great exposure, background. I like the soft light, but I'm one of those that Joe mentioned would like a bit more punch to bring out those colours a bit. Another vote for some sharpening to head and eye.

    Cheers!

    Love the beautiful image and I agree with Joe's comments. A tad more USM and I too love the lighting and color as posted. Thanks for sharing.

    I love the early morning light/contrast and wouldn't change that at all.
