I get the feeling I'm being eyed up as suitable dinner

Nice shot with him looking into the lens

Cracking shot looks like he's making his mind up as to what's going to be on his dinner menu. A shot to be proud of. TFS

Nice sharp shot, and an interesting angle! Is this a wild bird?

I think he/she is at least annoyed.

Gorgeous, really nice shot.

Works for me, as is, but think it'd look better with a catchlight in the other eye.

But thought I'd see if a crop could improve, making the bird less centralised and reducing the amount of body

Crop to square, dodge eye, curves/saturation to lift a little, burn BG top right, sharpen, border

Thanks everyone.

I do like the edit, apart from now i look at the original and it looks a bit blurry!

I'm very new to photoshop so havent really figured out how to do too much post processing, in fact yesterday i learnt how to make a boarder using the tutorial on this website!! - following on from that, how can i add a signature to an image?

Think it'll look OK with sharpening - all dSLR shots are soft 'straight out of camera' and need post-processing (tho' this can be done in-camera with a JPG!)

Signature? Scan a signature (or take a photo!), process to put writing on a transparent BG and insert.

Tho, many moons ago, I made a font with my signature as a character (for signing printless faxes and other docs), so I just change font and insert a character!

Like that edit! Really nice idea. Black borders always seem to do it don't they?

Watch the birdie

Love it, think the edit works even better
