here is my quick edit

Increase levels in the bird and mask off the water
Increase contrast
apply vignette
warm it up with a red filter mask off bird
clone out some spots at the top

Oh crop so it is not centered

Dang! I see Shecoya had the same idea I did ... and beat me to posting it.



I really didn't do much to it:

1) I used Render | Lighting to create the appearance of a light coming from behind and to the right of the bird to match the already existing highlighted outline.

2) I burned the part of the image to the bottom left of the bird ... as if the bird were blocking the light (I made no attempt to create the form of a shadow, I just blocked most of the light).

3) Increased the brightness / contrast of the image.

4) Then added an orange color overlay to the image.
