(9,846 posts)between the eye and the beak and the dark part of the body....and maybe more contrast on the white part of the head to show more detail in the feathers. the problem is that when you start messing with the white feathers too much, it makes the head look dirty.

the white feathers would compete too much with the already lovely details in the dark feathers. I find the details of the dark feathers to be one of the most appealing parts of this photo.
The color of the skin between the beak and the eye looks quite natural to me.

(3,120 posts)I think there is plenty of detail in the head. I'll look at it on a bigger screen as soon as I get a chance.
I'm obsessive about sharpness, so maybe you could add a little sharpening, (edge contrast), but then again that may just be my crummy phone.
Either way, it's a stunning image. Congratulations!

I think it looks great. It's plenty sharp. I wouldn't change a thing.

(9,846 posts)...i just reprocessed it to darken the background and remove the distracting vertical reflection of light and did a few things differently.
thank you!
