I wouldn't get the shots without the windows, so it is almost as though I
have nothing to compare to. Topaz to the rescue for sure.

Thanks, Moose, but naw, doesn't really work for me. Maybe I'll try
desaturating that green a tad. Your edits are very nice and possibly
improve the photo for others. However, it gives away a few of the things I
like about the capture: the context, and the feeling I get from the time
of day, the kind of day, and the place. Lost is the feeling of the
sunlight reflecting from the river, backlighting the leaves of our trees,
which is such a delight of the season to me. If I'd wanted to do anything
much different it would have been to remove the bird poop! But I do like a
lot of what you did with the bird and bringing up the shadows. Thanks for
futzing.
Here's the backyard in the general direction where light filters in a way I
particularly like for backgrounds, especially later in the day this time of
year (though not in this photo itself particularly):

What if the Hokey Pokey *IS* what it's all about?
