This is an example of a very natural editing style for bird photography, which doesn't aim to alter the scene but only to enhance its aspect as it was originally.
These are the steps I follow for the postprocessing of most of my wildlife photos, although the "intensity" will be different depending on the starting point. This was a pretty good photo to start with, so it didn't require much work.
Postprocessing was performed only using Lightroom Classic.
