Well, you said it wasn't going to be easy, and you were right, Gerhard.
I have been around this thing several times today, and this is the one I came up with.
Now that I have seen the rest, I should delete it, however, that would be counterproductive, so here it is.
Adjusted White Balance to As Shot.
Converted to PhotoShop CS, then cropped and adjusted levels slightly. Cloned out area around lower beak.
Used polygonal lasso tool on eye, and highlighted it.
Put through shadows/highlights to try and bring out more of the feather details in the darker areas: Amount 25%, Tonal Width 24%, oops, forgot the radius...
Created a duplicate layer, a high pass filter of a radius of 10 pixels, then layer style, to soft light at 85%. Then flattened layers.
Did USM, then sharpened once more.
Used blur tool at 100% to clean around the bird to chest area and across below tail.
Then ran through Neat Image to filter and sharpen slightly again.
I think that is it. Now I will read all of yours and cry... just kidding.
At least at this stage you will know that I am in desperate need of tutelage, thank you for this wonderful idea!
