UTGhog - I'm not familiar with the Corel tools. I'd suggest three changes: 1, revisit the exposure setting and increase the "brightness" of the image. The colors are rich, but this version is too dark. 2, revisit the sharpening settings. This may be as sharp as the capture accomplished (lens & camera), but I believe some more modest adjustments can still be made in the resulting image. 3, when capturing the RAW images in the future, adjust the exposure more to the right in the histogram so that you have brighter images to begin with in the edit process (ETTR - expose to the right).
You might crop-in closer such as the leaf in the lower right exiting the corner of the image bringing the dragon larger within the resulting, smaller image frame. Overall, good start and hopefully will generate a desire for more.

This might be a little better. Thanks for the input CHG_CANON and everyone else. I have a lot to learn.
