Sharpness and colour looks pretty good on my screen (although I find it extremely hard to judge critical sharpness from the small web images). The image as a whole looks a little lack-lustre but judging from the water colour this is more likely a consequence of overcast conditions as opposed to a post processing error.
You could also tweak the highlights and/or midtones for a little more oomph if you felt the need though.
Lovely job catching him with the open beak

Hi Brian - excellent cap especially the open beak
I echo Justins comments though - perhaps a touch of highlight/midtone adjust would transform this image

Fine action shot with the open beak. Agree it needs a little "zap" - water looks faintly red on my setup but maybe that's because it is overcast

4 repliesThought I would post this to check sharpness, colour etc.
Started using Lightroom in place of Aperture. Also first post from the 40D.
I would really appreciate comments on the above.
