Joel:
Nice flash work, sharp, well exposed, shows the prop tail and strong grip well.
I might consider a modest crop from the right. The trunk is interesting, but large enough that it somewhat overpowers the bird for me.
A bit of head turn our way would be nice.
Cheers
Randy

Very nice Joel - the bird looks great - very crisp. I agree with Randy - a tighter crop to deal might help reduce the weight of the beefy perch. I might consider warming the image just a bit - it looks very "neutral". You may also wish to remove the second catchlight from the flash.
