I was out in our backyard early this morning observing a flock of turkeys and watched one fly up into our oak tree to hang out for a while (something I rarely get to see) This is her walking thru a patch of early morning sunlight up there.

Specific Feedback Requested

I considered cloning out those few leaves above her, and knocking out those tan leaves below her but couldn’t convince myself that it was necessary. What say you?

My first impression, Dave, is the turkey looks quite natural in the environment. If it were mine, I would leave it as is. Nice shot.

The leaves on top don’t bother me, Dave. The tan leaves do draw my eye, but I think I’d try toning them down rather than removing them. The image looks rather noisy to me.
