Shooting in the shade with the sun popping through in places is about as difficult as it gets for exposure. I don't know what you can do to improve it much. You could try to double process it once a little brighter and once a little darker and then stack the layers in Photoshop and paint the layer mask to use the lighter one in the shadows and the darker one in the sun areas. Might help a little.

It looks pretty good to me as posted Rick. It's an interesting setting and perspective and you have just enough light on the face to highlight it.

I agree with Nate that it is nice as is. My imagination runs wild trying to figure what the environment is here. I like it.

Shot taken in a tree covered creek where the sun was behind and to left of Heron. Sunlight was bouncing off the bottom of creek bed and backlighting. This spot is where the fish school and are picked off one by one.
Thanks for the comments.

I like how the face and eye is very slightly lit while the rest of the bird is in shadow. Good job with exposure in maintaining detail in both the shadowed body and the brighter face.
