Sorry, but this doesn't work for me. Its so heavily retouched it has lost its realism and become almost a painting. Looks like its been overdone with Portrait Professional.

Lovely shot. Very expressive. Birds in flight can be very tricky but you've nailed this one. Well done.

Wheee by rowarrior

Hi
If by 'blown out' you mean the pink area at the bottom I've a feeling that its a natural refraction of light in violet wavelenths. You'll notice that there are also some green patches in the top right quadrant.

Gone into Replace Color, zoomed into pixel level to select the tones of pinks & violets to remove and replace with greyscale, but still leaving just a few of the lighter shades there. Did the same with the green at the top right. This is just quick fix for this file but would take some time on the full size image.

Hope thats of some use.
