Boosted the blacks in the blacks under selective color
Accented the eye a little using Artie's technique of isolating the iris and pupil
Saturated the end of the bill a bit
Did some minor surgery on the bill with the clone & patch tools
Burned the foot that is planted as it was way bright
Got rid of some of the droppings on the rock
Wonderful wing stretch and head angle, and Jim's re-post is a big improvement. Best to underexpose the ORIG capture (with most camera bodies) to avoid burning those pink legs.
