Hi Folks,
I'v been playing with a different method of pp than I usualy use and would value your opinion on all aspects of this image, Best Wishes, Pat.

Very nice. How about a crop to remove that bit of out of focus plant at the lower left corner?

Hi Pat, I think whatever you did in pp works fine. Nice detail and color in the bird. I agree with Mary that a tighter crop eliminating the out of focus plant would work better.

A crop to remove a substantial part of the bottom, with a corresponding amount from the right side would work OK; but it also loses a bit of 'atmosphere' and becomes more of a textbook identification photo.

A case of try it then decide I suspect.

Otherwise, everything looks fine to me in the processing department.

Thank you Mary, Joe and Geoff for your comments. I think the new pp workflow seems to work fine, will look at a crop to remove the out of focus plant and still hold the 'atmosphere' in the photograph.
Best Wishes, Pat.

Workflow looks good, pat. Slightly dark eye, you may want to dodge it a bit.
