I added a blending mode filter on this because of that fuzziness from shooting through the window.
Thanks so much for ALL the comments yesterday... I appreciate them one and all.
Just tell me what you think. I'm a big girl.... I won't cry for long. ;-)

The filter was a good idea. This is excellent in color and detail. Very pleasing pic.

It looks like a painting. A very good one, specially the frame.

Oooo! Amy this is georgous. The textures are beautiful and you've done a wonderful job with the processing. This would look fantastic as a wall hanging.

Amy, very beautiful! The painterly quality really does add depth, providing a lovely neutral canvas to draw the eye to that gorgeous crimson crest and breast. Very nice.

I like this version a lot. It almost looks like it could be a Chinese or Japanese painting.

A beautiful photo and one to be proud of!
I can't believe how cold it still is in your part of Canada.....its a warm and sunny 13 deg C today here in Manchester and we've got all the office windows open.

Think I prefer the original, the filter for me doesn't add anything to the shot

Wonderful, looks like a canvas!

Sure is a really nice composition and effect! You seem to have a knack for turning a disappointing photo into something lovely! Thanks for your comment Amy. I had posted, somehow, another copy of the image I intended to post. Anyway, I re-uploaded the right one, but lost the comments in the process!. :-)

Beautiful Amy, lovely treatment, nice crop, and what gorgeous birds they are.

This goes to show that 'image making' counts as much as 'image taking'. Great PP Amy, you have created a really super image here.
