Hi Joe is it a " Prisoner " bird or free ?

Hi Joe,
Good angle on the birs head. Looks to be grainy and needing a little sharpening and saturation.
Could be good with some PP in Elements.
Regards,
Peter

Good try

In the workshop, I like only the eye beter.
With too much noise reduction, the subject look like in plastic.
