First I masked the heron reduced structure in the background added detail to the heron also use desaturation and soft focus and a little noise reduction setting. And played with contrast settings low medium and high I did do a bit more to it but that's the basic took me two and a half hours
No did not use tone curve at all
Thanks so much for your kind words
