A Bird for PP

[Yisehaq]

Hey all,
Can you give me your opinions on this one? Especially, on post processing? I would love if some tried to manipulate this and to give me an idea? I am running out of ideas in PP every time I set to process images.
Thanks

i wish you'd tell us want you want to do with the photo, what to achieve with the pp.

Well, if it had a problems corrected first I might take a stab, but as it is it's cropped too close - the bird's tail is cut off, and it doesn't appear to be in focus, and the eyes aren't really visible. Don't take this wrong - I can't shoot birds well for anything, but I also don't try to make shots that don't work into something in post. I just chalk them up as losses...and there are tons of them.

It is cropped to tight and looks a bit soft to me.

Thank you edbayani11, scorio_e and WD for you feedback.

I also don't try to make shots that don't work into something in post. I just chalk them up as losses...and there are tons of them.
I think I have to learn this. I spend too much time trying to rescue pictures. That is really a good advise and I will try to remember that.

It's all part of the process. After 25 years I'm still practicing. My latest blog post is about this very thing. The Shots I Don't Take (http://wickeddarkphotography.wordpress.com/2010/11/12/the-shots-i-dont-take/)
