I like the intimate preening pose. The red eye-ring and bill really stand out against all those neat greys. Sharp on the eye and most of the face, but I do wish you had more dof to get the bill and the lifted feathers behind it sharp too. Perhaps having had the focus point on the lores would have helped with that. I enjoy the image a lot, nicely seen opportunity.
