    Sharp. The WHITEs are grayed out. Please also see the Head Angle Fine Points thread in the ER :)

    Really?
    I did tone them down to get more contrast.
    I can't do anything about the head angle, this looks normal for an egret to me.
    The original whites:

    Really Dan. If you tone down the whites you get less contrast not more.... The bird is looking away from you.... This is almost always less than ideal. I suggest again that you visit the various threads on head angle in the ER.....

    Whites look much better in the original (2nd post)...White bird pops from the BG...HA is less than ideal...I agree with Arthur!
