Hi Nelson -

Very nice pose and capture. I like the composition and choice of crop.

What was the ISO on this shot? Looks just a bit grainy on the tail feathers. I'm also catching a bit of a green cast, but that could be due to my monitor. If you can, try a bit of selective sharpening on the face as well :)

Neat little fella. I like the simple comp. Exposure looks good, but the image does indeed have a greenish cast, and it needs a levels adjustment (specifically for the blacks which need to go darker IMO). Another round of sharpening for web presentation would be good too. You got some good iridescence going on the throat!
