    Nice wings down position, great details and sharpness, James. The opulet shows so well.

    The mid tone adjustment has given the image an extra pop. Another fine image.

    Absolute pose perfection: full wings down with the bird angling slightly towards us. Killer.

    YAW :) I pulled the curve down a bit but not on the face. Then I ran an contrast mask (Unsharp Mask at 15/65/0) on everything but the face. The face looked fine to begin with.
