Also took this, and because the white background in the full sun was showing some heat haze effect, I've tried it in Shotwell and just pressed their enhance button.
To me, it's brought up some nice detail on the feathers and given a decent bokeh I suppose, but it possibly looks over exposed.

Edit: That heat haze is still there too :(

That bottom one point colour shot I just put up is bugging me now in terms of composition. If I'd have just lowered the camera a tad I'd have got the full weather vane on top of the church in the reflection too. As it is, it's chopped off and so ruins the picture a bit for me.

All those pictures immediately above look lovely and sharp. It's good fun playing around with photos.
