Colours look good to me, but on this occasion I think you could afford to drop the Shadows for a bit more of a richer look to the plumage. In the real darks it is minimally clipped, something to look at for any prints, but easily addressed with a quick adjustment brush. I might also just burn the nearest foot for a little more 'tonal balance', but personal taste. If I'm correct, I think you may have added some Vibrance witch I might reduce or remove, it just adds that tinge of yellow IMHO and so the whites become a tad 'cleaner'. Agree that the yellow triangle is removed and the yellow in the rock too, by your sign off. I also think from recollection the rock was more 'cooler', however I might get a bit more detail from the rock in ACR, but being a 'softer ' look in the OP, some folk may prefer that, as it does not distract from the clarity & nice detail within the subject.
Cheers
Steve
