Teresa, I was going to comment, but then I noticed Craig Hansen already said pretty much what I wanted to say. The main problem is not something fixable in PS to any satisfactory degree. It seems the focus pont was on the tail, not on the eyes.
Not a lot you could do in PS (I usually just do Image>Adjust>Auto Levels just after opening, do a bit of cropping or adjusting contrast/brightness and saturation, then Filter>Sharpen>UnSharpMask, before File>Save to web)

Best regards!

Hi Teresa, You have a good eye. That is the foundation of any good photograph. For me I just often taken digital photos in volume as the photos I think are going to be GREAT are not always the ones I like in the end. It's the ones that surprise me or the purely spontaneous ones that seem often to be the best. Funny that, but true for me. Photoshop is such a capable program and even people that have been using it for years always find something new to try out. Just start with a few basics and add on to it as you find that you are comfortable with what you know. And in a few years I'll be asking advice from you. LOL. For this one. Just Lassoing the head and neck of the bird and right clicking on the lassoed area selecting "feather" of about 10 pixels. then try the sharpen filter once under "Filter". That should bring the head into focus better then it is now. Good luck. Bartock

Nice bird Teresa! Since you asked for advice, I don't think there is much which needs doing in photoshop.
If I were you, I would try focusing on the eye, rather than on the feathers, or use a bit wider dof. It could just be the slow shutter speed though which makes the eye a bit dull looking.
I suppose if you spent hours working on it, you could succeed in making it sharp and glossy, but I think it would be better to go back and reshoot.
Take dozens of shots with different settings, different angles. Go home and look through them all carefully. Choose the best. This is my advice.

Well as far as PS is concerned, there wasn't really a whole that need improving. When I adjust photos, I use Levels, and I look at each RGB channel individually, making sure that the histogram for each channel goes the full spectrum available, which every channle for this image does already. I sharpened it slightly using the high pass method, of duplicating the background layer, setting it to the 'overlay' mode, and then Filter>Other>High Pass, with a pixel radius of 2-3.5. Then I used the 'brightness' from the LAB color mode, pasted back into the original at 20% opacity in 'overlay' mode as well.
These things sound complicated, but are really just a couple of steps.
Chris
