Thanks Mark, apart from the cropping which I still feel I prefer in the original, the burning work here has definitely made a big difference, especially to the branch which is much better. I agree the leaves are better dumbed down a bit as well.
Do you think the bit of brown foliage hanging down near the macaw's head could do with cloning out? Only really noticing it now that you have cropped it. Just a thought. I appreciate your time and effort on it, thanks muchly
Rob
