Nicely Done Kev... the flash has lifted the 'blacks' very well to give excellent plumage detail...

You've really brought out the detail, my only suggestion is to clone out the edge line that is there between the bird and tree.
Great shot

Fantastic detail and a lovely capture...I've been keeping my eye on a GSW but nothing yet.

Lovely image of a GSW, tight but all there, also the flash really has lifted the image. I agree with Tim that it may be worth having a go a retouching the edge line.
