Hi David I like the framing and 'classic' 3/4 angle/pose.

It's a shame some of the 'pristine' feathers are a little grubby, the light appears quite bright, but I think you can extract a bit more depth from the white plumage, likewise the pink face has some gorgeous detail which could be enhanced even more. Like the green saturated backdrop, again perhaps a small curves adjustment to add a tad more pop may add even more separation, but overall I like it.

Love the soft light and colors and the BKGR. It is easy-enough to clean up the dirt on the feathers. The white feathers look fine to me but I would not mind a bit more detail in the pink bill.
