Oh you silly. It's not the processing - you shoulda put ELK in the title. I didn't vote on it but thought it was a scrawny deer. Ok, ok... possibly substituting a godzilla head wouldn't hurt either ;-)

Not exactly a shabby score for FS... Amazing capture. You have great contrast, depth and sharpness. However this all makes birdy's head blend in with his wing. Maybe a little softening on the far wing would help - a post hoc dof adjustment of sorts. As others mentioned, the light blue-gray background might have been an issue. Perhaps opting for all sepia and then torquing up the golds and whites might have warmed things up a little, although it would make it less clinically accurate.
