If I'm not mistaken this is the same individual featured in a recent posting. Anyway, a sharp and impressive photo I would be proud of were it mine.

Thanks for your correction. I have a question, Roy: without divulging any trade secrets you would rather not divulge --- do you do anything special in PP to make the bird "pop" so mightily from the background? (By the way, the bokeh is extraordinary),

No trade secrets involved.
I use Topaz Clarity followed by Topaz Detail, with just a few minor modifications.
They are both excellent pieces of software.
You can get a months free trial (full use ) of both here link

That's what this forum is about learning and finding new things from like minded people.

Merci beaucoup for this information. And I second you on your saying what this forum is all about. I use LR 6 which has both of the controls you mention. I will look into Topaz. Perhaps it won't mangle my Exif data, which LR does, to my daily chagrin. Have researched how to fix it, without result.

Topaz leaves the exif intact
