Went strawberry picking yesterday and the farmer keeps a few exoctic birds so I snapped a few, this being the best.

Not the kind of bird you find in a typical English garden.

I've used levels to liven it up a bit and cloned out some distracting background things. I think the bird has a kind of haughty arrogant look.

I felt like wringing its neck cos it wouldn't keep still.

What do you think?

Thanks guys, you should have seen the original, it was drab and dull. Amazing what you can do in post processing.
