Wonderful pose,perfect head angle, nice perch, sharp, but well over-sharpened...

Wonderful image with great lighting and pose. The edges of the image seem noisy, probably due to the sharpening, and I would clone out the green leaves at the bottom. However, these are very minor things. Terrific portrait of a beautiful subject. Congratulations.
