Woah! Thank you, Wendy, Robert, Dan, Pablo, Debby, Kenton, Barb, Tammy, and Dorothy!!!!!!!!!
I really appreciate all your support and detailed comments!

Kenton, thanks! I had to use a little unsharp mask because the bird's head was slightly out of focus (shallow DOF with my telephoto extender) and just a touch of contrast enhancement. I'm glad you like what I did!

Here's the original if you're interested.
