Intense look on this guy. Sharp and excellent BG.

Superb details, Gus! The color palette is just lovely. Can't see a thing to improve....unless you'd want to smooth the little bit of debris off the top of his beak. ;)

I love this kind of portrait. There are so many options for a pleasing composition.

I'm attaching another option (not that anything is wrong with yours;)).

This one offers a little more room above and to the right.

This one offers a little more room above and to the right, while taking a little off the left.
