Lovely portrait of this good looking bird. I like the S shape formed by the birds neck and head. Beautiful feather detail with the eye nice and clear. The BG colour complements the bird very well. Not a bird we see in UK so nice to see it here.

Really nice BG here!Makes the image.
Good composition and the fluffed up feathers on the neck and the S shape look great.
I wish the URC wasn't so black.
It pulls my eye away.
Might be fun to try filling this corner in with the other BG colors,
