I can see that you filled the frame very well on this macro image. If my eyes don't deceive me, you did just a slight bit of cropping on the left. The PP certainly boosted the image nicely.
I think the language trips me up on occasion. I use levels and curves in PS or their equivalent in Lightroom. And of course, I use USM. When you say "adjusted the neutral channel with black" where did you do that?
Going forward, it would be great to see large birds such as herons and small birds like a Warbler or Sparrow, for example.
Again thank you for agreeing to undertake this effort.
