Male Kestrel 2nd Edit

[John G]

I had a think about the original edits comments, and used Pro One Capture 9 to open the RAW file. Applied Contrast, sharpening and a minute Levels adjustment.
Kept the whole output on keeping the timber posts and moss as natural as I know how to.
The exported to CS6 did a little bit more levels then resized and saved for web.

The colour balance has less of a golden evening tone to it than your first version.

But about those tilting verticals....

Very good point Colin, I overlooked a simple correction to that detraction in the composition.
