OK, trying to improve my post processing of images again. Hopefully for the better??

Read some info sent from Ashley. Full frame image here (tight). Down sized to 5 x 7 inch at 300 dpi.
Created curves layer, performed Auto, then tweaked each channel (red, blue, green) a little to my liking.
Used shadow/highlight tool to brighten up shadows a little (lower left corner)
Spot brightened a little around the eyes, bill, and top of head.
Sharpened while viewing at actual pixel size photo.
Resized to 700 dpi tall to properly fit for original view on Pbase.

That's it. (Had also created a custom shooting menu with 1 click boost in sharpness, contrast, and saturation.

All critiques and comments welcomed, especially ones to point out improvements.
