Great pose and probably one of your best, Bob! 8)
Would suggest a slight contrast boost ... Author: cwchan Time: 8/03/2008 18:03
Nice shot , Bob.
The old gear (8400) is hard to be replaced. :
I agree with KK's suggestion. Perhaps, add a little bit of B(blue) and M(magenta) may also help. It appears a bit yellow/green in my monitor.

Looks pretty good to me.
Can you make it over to Lamma early tomorrow with Neil? Geoff is doing one of his birding breakfasts.
Also Harry says there is a very accommodating Bushchat in YSL Valley Author: tbob Time: 8/03/2008 20:04
Guy,
I replaced the original shot with modifications as suggested by KK and Wing.
Sorry can't be there tomorrow as working in the morning

At your request, Bob!
This is my repost. You should achieve a much better result with your original file though ...
What's done: adjusted contrast and mid-tone using Levels, damped down the over exposed perch/rock using Curves, added slight saturation, removed the color cast, NR to bg and selective sharpened subject. That's it!
NB I probably have overdone the saturation bit !!! Author: tbob Time: 8/03/2008 20:12
Thanks a lot KK.
I will be the first to attend your Photoshop workshop, if we all can persuade you to run one.
Bob
