Niiiice… great BG separation and iridescent colours!
Do I see a sharpening halo there, effron?

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Resampling? Very unusual!

No resampling, high pass lightly prior to crop. No post crop sharpening.

Really nice colors.

Is flash involved in this one? Doesn't look like it.

I find the sharpening to be a bit too much. Suggest either:
1) Use a monochromatic HP and back off a bit, or
2) mask in the HP filter to the eyes and feathers only.

Thanks Gary, it looks fine on my computer. They do some compression here and I usually brighten a little and sharpen much less to compensate. Didn't here. The print is fine as well....No flash.
