lovely shot, the light, pose, background are all great only it looks quite soft too me, not necessarily focussing may just need to be sharpened a bit more
Some of the best descriptions I've read regarding the various sharpening techniques/filters/uses came from Scott Kelby's book 'The Photoshop CS2 Book for Digital Photographers'.
Very nice pose, perch & comp with agood bg.
Well captured.
I use CS3 & after resizing for web go into filters & click on sharpen, then click on sharpen in the sub menu. I am told that this is a very basic way of sharpening an image but it works for me until i can learn more.

I agree; I have always struggled with sharpening - advice would be great. I have run the shot through noise ninja and will repost.
