In about two minutes:
-duplicate
-high pass, blend as hard light, 58% opacity
-merge
-vibrance +50 (unfortunately this feature isn't in PS 7, it's basically a non-linear saturation adjustment)
-contrast (I forget how much though
)
-curves
--I added a point at 50% on the red channel and brought it closer to 55%
--made a slight S in the RGB channel to boost contrast some more
-duplicate
-gaussian blur at about 2px radius
-nerf brightness/contrast
-mask with a large brush at 0% hardness to expose the foreground and subject
What this accomplishes is a boost to sharpness, better saturation (especially to that nice red plumage), less distracting background bokeh.
