I found the colors on these birds to be really striking. Didn't realize that they had wiskers until looking closer at the image. Taken at animal park bird sanctuary. Crop, removed branch and leaves on L side, touched up BG & FG, lightened BG. Standard ACR & PS adjustments & sharpening.

Love the bird and it looks great on the big flat rock. Sharp with a perfect EXP and wonderful detail throughout. The big triangle upper right is somewhat distracting.... Head angle perfect. What is the bird holding?
