ACR, CS5, Genuine fractals .... toned down a bright spot on the bill with soft brush and ran slight gaussian blur and NR on the BG. Removed one catchlight.
Nice pose and sharpness looks good. Agree with perch a bit large for this bird. Not a big fan of flash for wildlife/avian so agree with the flashed look.
