This is a photo of one of my white fantails in flight. I haven't done anything to it, but should I?
Do all digital pics need some type of post processing?

at the very least sharpening is required: http://www.ausphotography.net.au/for...ead.php?t=8579

Assuming you have Photoshop I'd add a levels or curves adjustment layer and brighten the bird up a little, you'll blow out the sky but we'll fix this next. While holding the Alt key (cmd for Mac), press the layer mask button to add a black mask. Now select a white brush, adjust the size and opacity (70%??) to suit and brush only over the bird to reveal the changes done by the layer mask.
Also recommend a sharpen as mentioned above.

Clearly I'm cleverly disguised as a Responsible Adult.
the bird has a slight blue cast and it would be cool if you could bring out some of the tones in the sky to add dynamics and atmosphere. Here is an example:
I realize that I killed the blue sky, but if you could work some of the tones of the clouds into it, it will become very dynamic.
Just a thought
Not sure if I even like it myself now; anyway just an idea; mainly used the shadow/highlight tool for the bird. Its a good photo worth a bit a twinkle
The dark/light halo is usually pretty off putting though
