Hello John,

Using PSE6, I selected the dark plummage with the quick selection tool. I then lighted the shadows 10%.

The details and glossy texture are now more prominent.

Hope you like it,
Bev :-)

I just used auto level to start with to add brightness.
On a curves layer I used the white picker on the whitest bit I could find and the whites got whiter. Behind the horizon was over-exposed then, so I added a mask on that part.
To take away the brown cast altogether I just clicked monotone on the channel mixer tool, but didn't move any sliders.
