This was shot from a blind, supported by a monopod. I'm interested in comments on the intensity of the green of the head of this bird. The decision to enhance that green in Photoshop or leave it looking as it was in nature is what I would like feedback on, plus anything else you have.
Hey Jim,
The colors as you have them look very natural. It might be interesting to try to bring the eye as well as the duck's colors a bit in PS.

I appreciate both the opinions, and how quickly they were given. I've re-processed it much the same as shown in your re-post. I've cropped it wider too. No more of the tail is visible, since it goes underwater, but since it gives the impression of being cut off, it has to be changed. BTW, some nice Egrets in your gallery, George.
Hey George,
I am not seeing your version of the photograph - but it is obvious that Jim is...
