 Crop, levels, sharpen.

Post-challenge: I'm pretty disappointed in the score for this one. I really consider it one of my strongest entries yet: good composition, exceptional lighting, rare capture. So I get a 5.7? I really think it's stronger than some of my 6+ shots.

Oh well, live and learn.

Extremely underrated! This is multiple times better thanalmost all the bird shots that scored better... I just don't understand these voters sometimes. And thank you for not submitting another cardinal or chickadee!

Beautiful photo, really.

Interesting spot of light right on the bird's chest and head.

This has a nice softness and warmth to it, yet with a bit of longing, too.

I like the way the bird is emerging from the shadows. Could sharpen a little more maybe.
