Nice shot, I'll bet that you could bring up the shadow details in the feathers quite well using levels or curves...almost to the point of blowing out the sky...which wouldn't be too bad.

thanks for the feedback guys! this one was a real rescue mission as it was totally out of focus so could never be used as a print but it makes an ok size 'internet image'... thanks again
