This photo was taken through the windscreen of the car and had a blue cast and poor contrast but I have tried to rescue it.
Sharpen x 2 and despeckle, cloned out white stuff from left side of bin. Brightness/contrast, selected bag, variations, more red, fade variations, select inverse, variations, more yellow, more red, fade variations 50% luminosity blending option. Tidied up bag edges and surrounds with clone tool. At some stage added border and resized, but continued to fiddle with it.Selected left crow and applied brightness/contrast to it.
stw. Put in sc. then decided to add the flies ( one fly selected and copied from another photo, resized and orientated with free transform) so had to rewrite all this for new image.

Nice work, with good detail in the feathers. You added the flies? Maybe that will become your signature piece like Art with his Godzilla!

HAHAHA Funny how birds have become so dependent on our crappy fast food habits. They will always hang around any place that has french fries and a stopped car, where someone can toss them a few.

Good job; I wouldn't have guessed from glancing at it that you'd done much PP at all! The flies are an interesting touch, in a yucky reality kind of way ;-) Oh, and I see the McDonald's M on the trash bin. I don't think they'd like this much ::giggles::
