Nice pose, looks like a goodly bit of sharpening but fine shot anyway

looks like a goodly bit of sharpening

I tend to sharpen for web as in my early days of posting I was often told to do it. Perhaps at 72dpi it shows, but there is only sharpening in the print module of Lightroom used for a 10x8 print where it is not apparent. I will be careful if I do a larger print for competition.

Thanks for all the comments - I had about a dozen of these on the tables in the trees above and on the ground hoovering up everything when not squabbling amongst themselves . . . . they have a very definite pecking order!

Like most of my shots these days - did not see the inside of Photoshop, just Lightroom to balance things up, crop to print size, export as sRGB at 800 pixels long side and 72dpi or to the print module at 300+dpi and Adobe RGB with border stroke and sized. I wonder now how I managed without it.
