I had a comment that the tone shifts and sharpening did not do well when it included the feed dish and seeds.
So I went back to the OOC and did one with the tone shifts and sharpening confined to the bird.

Number two still looks a bit sharper, but both of them are really good. Sharp is a good thing...But I think razor sharpness is being oversold! JMHO.

You are right, even though I used masking to confine the changes to the bird the dish still looks a bit sharper. Could be the mind playing around with its "internal editing" features.
