I used a unsharp mast to get the picture more sharp and then used the photoshop function "shadows & highlights" to even out the lighting in the picture. This makes the harsh flash less obvious I think. At last i decreased the saturation as the shadows function increased the colors a bit.

Hope it helps!

I felt that the picture was quite flat and lifeless so I first used the shadow/highlight in photoshop CS to remove some of the "foginess" in the picture. Then I added some contrast and desaturated a little and finally unsharp mask.

One tip is that when you decrease the size of a picture to fit on TN it is almost always necessary to add some sharpness to keep the sharpnes of the original sized picture.

hope You like it.

I tried a little sharpening and then used the "shadow/highlight" feature in PS to lighten the background and eye and give more texture to the feathers. Then I ran it through neat image to remove the resulting noise. Hope you like it.

I did sme cloning. Took away the glea m in the eye ans some of the white spots in his feathers to remove the "flash residues". Added some saturation to get more blue colors in his feathers.

Hope you like it

I added the whole picture except for som black parts to the right. I also made it lighter because I agree that it was way too dark.

As suggested I tried to rotate the image. It certainly adds something to the picture.
