I wanted to share this image that I processed 95% in ACR (Adobe Camera Raw CS5).
The image is full frame and was shot in very harsh light. I used the adjustment brush to tone down the over-exposed right side of the Owl and also to bring out more detail in the shadow side of the Owl, and the dark background.
Since the birds right eye was in shadow, and his right eye was in full sun, you can see the different size of the eyes. After balancing the light with processing, I felt both eyes should be the same. I used a samll brush in "liquidfy" (under "filters") to resize the eyes. Credit to Mike Gray for showing me the "adjustment" tool.
I love that each new version of Photoshop is saving more and more images that I used to throw away :-)
Quite impressive work. I need lessons on the AB..... Quite a save.

Great example, love the rework version. If it was mine, I might tone down the background vegetation to make the perch jump off the page a little bit, and give it a tad more depth...but what a keeper!!
