I used Gaussian blur and some cloning on the backround to blur it out. I used Cloning to remove some hot spots from glare in the eyes and on the beak as well as to remove some dirt specks on the fur. Levels, contrast adustment, sharpening and a slight increase in saturation were also applied. ISO 200, aperature 8, shutter speed 1/125
