This is a superb portrait Joe.
The blacks and the bill are perfectly exposed as well ( very difficult to achieve this).
I see a magenta cast in the chest feathers- easy fix.
Excellent comp and love the grey BG,

Like Gail says, not an easy bird to get the exposure spot on with - at least if they're anything like our Brit versions, and I bet the Florida light makes it even harder not to blow the whites.
A simple portrait thats been well executed

An attractive Portrait Joe.
I agree the exposure is spot on, and excellent head angle.
