I really like the composition and the background colors work really well, Robert. There does appear to be a considerable loss of detail in the Stilt.

Really like the composition you have here Robert. Perhaps a little selective sharpening on the white feathers might bring up some more detail. I suggest only the whites, as the black feathers seem to lack any detail, so chances are sharpening them will only introduce grain.
