Check out the thick bill on this guy! I love the deatil on the near wing, but I could go for a better position on the far one (higher up). Looks like you had some nice light here. I'd look into desaturating the blue on the far wing-tip. Overall pretty nice!

Hi Christopher!

I agree with Daniel, love the detail in the near wing, and wing position. If the far wing were higher, then the face wouldn't merge with the far wing. I like the composition.

Daniel and Brian have covered my observations. I just want to echo theirs in that I like the details of the underside of the wing and place of the bird in frame. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks folk for your comments and advice I will have a play with the original RAW file.
