The last image is the best. I was not concerned with the dark feathers and concentrated soly on the head and neck areas.
I tried several curve shapes but what I gained in one area gave unacceptable losses in others.
I found the area below the beak and eye to be troublesome. The more I gained in the beak and eye the more I lost in these areas.
So I finally settled for the curve here.
I bunged up the saturation and the result is here.
Sharpening should improve this image. It's a pity that sharpening the L channel is not provided in Curvemaster.
