Jan,


I like the crop on this one. As for processing....the bird looks a little washed out...you could try a curves adjustment to increase the midtone contrast a bit and also under selective color you can choose the "neutrals" then increase the black slider just a few points. I would get rid of the stalk of grass and also would try to eliminate the out of focus fence post as well.


You could try running a gentle setting of the noise reduction filter on the whole image but it would better to do that only on the background because you risk losing detail in the bird.( I don
