Upsized the photo 400%. I don't like the background but because of the quality of the bird I don't think it is worth the effort to mask out the bird and drop in a more neutral background. What do you think. If you feel it is worth it feel free to fold, spindle or mutilate.

Looks fine as it is.

Great bird. But, I think the ankle bracelet sends a "I'm in jail message". I removed it! It's free now.

moderator replaced Bill's with color space corrected so the thumbnail would show the right color and exposure

Curmudgeon: for your consideration only because you dislike as-is, a quick adjustment to the background with an online app: desaturate and blur a little more. A sweet photo!

Thanks all. Think I'll save it in my Humming Bird folder. It's my only good Rufous.

How do I correct my color space settings?

It's in the export preferences; I'm sorry I can't recall exactly since I don't use LR or PS. Look for sRGB when you make the final conversion to jpg.

After you are finished with your edit in PS, you export the image. You go to export, EXPORT AS when the box opens they give you four choices at the top right, pick JPEG. On the bottom of the column under color space tick off sRGB. After your finished hit the EXPRT ALL button. Once it is set up any future edits will be set up as an export with the correct color space. All you have to do after the initial set up go to export than QUICK EXPORT AS JPEG. That should solve the problem. If you are having problems PM me.
I was beaten up enough times until I received instructions on how to correct the problem.

BTW I like your hummingbird shot.

They will remain nameless. But that is only for my protection.

I can help you find the settings in Photoshop or Lightroom. Which are you using and what is wrong with it now?

Curmudgeon you bird is indeed worth working with. Here is an alternative that I came up with, I do hope you find it useful. RBorud
